Velja Viljandi villt

The article reports that local authorities in Seltjarnarnes have decided to collaborate with other regional municipalities across Iceland to participate in the 'Viljandi vilt' project, which aims to allow natural grazing for vegetation. The selected areas for this initiative are located near the southern and northern coastlines, where these sites will not be mowed regularly during summer, allowing natural grass growth alongside various flower species. This decision was announced by Seltjarnarnes municipality, which also mentions that general grasslands will still be cut three times a week in summer, including six times, while grasslands near schools and sports facilities will be cut three times, and the town’s lawn will be cut once at the beginning of June. Several municipalities, including Mosfellsbær, Múlaþing, and Reykjavík, have participated in the project, although representatives of the new majority expressed opposition to the idea.
