Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 144Participation in the Ishikawa Reforestation Project October 24 and 31, 2015 NTT West Hokuriku Group

NTT West Hokuriku Group took part in the "Ishikawa Reforestation Project" that was held on the last two weeks of October. This activity was hosted by Ishikawa Reforestation Promotion Association.

Autumn has stepped in at the village forests with leaves turning red and Japanese pampas grass swaying in the breeze.
At the event, saplings of Konara oak were planted and limbing of branches and weeding of undergrowth were conducted for the grown trees to prepare for the snow in winter.
Although it was a sweaty task, the autumn breeze was pleasant and the volunteers united their efforts to improve the growth environment of the trees while calling out to each other to make sure they are coping well.

At the Hiuchidani area, activities including planting of wild flowers and grasses, nameko mushroom picking and a hands-on workshop to learn about inoculation of nameko mushrooms were held.

At the end of the activity, all the participants enjoyed warm "mettajiru (miso soup with pork and vegetables)" made from fresh nameko mushrooms.
Comments such as "I had a feel of rural life" and "there were a lot of insects and it was really fun. I want to come back again" were received from children of employees who also took part in the event.

We believe the participants learned a lot through planting saplings by digging holes with a big shovel and interacting with nature.

Other participants also made comments such as "it was a meaningful day" and "I am glad I took part in this activity." As a staff member, it was encouraging to see smiles on everyone's face and be responded with simple words such as "it was fun."

We look forward to a large turnout from the employees and their family members at the next round of activities.
