Höld staff planted the company’s 40,000th tree during its annual tree-planting trip, according to a report by Akureyri.net.

Tree planting has been a central part of Höld’s activities for the past thirty years. Employees from across the country have taken part in the project, making it a longstanding company tradition.

The milestone was reached as staff continued the company’s regular tree-planting work, which over the decades has contributed thousands of trees.
