Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 189"Creating a Healthy Corporate Forest in Ariake Coast" Undergrowth Weeding Activity June 18, 2016 NTT West Saga Group
On June 18, 2016 (Saturday), NTT West Saga Group held an undergrowth weeding activity at the drained wetland of Ariake Coast (Saga Prefecture, Kishima-gun, Shiroishi-cho).
This activity was carried out at the zone where trees were planted by NTT West Group in February 2014 under the "Creating a Healthy Corporate Forest in Ariake Coast" project co-hosted by Shiroishi-cho of Kishima-gun and Saga Prefecture. Companies participating in this tree planting project were required to monitor the growth including undergrowth weeding for a period of three years. This was the fifth round of the weeding activity.
Although it was in the middle of the rainy season, the sky was clear on the day of the event and the sunlight was so strong that one would perspire even without moving.
It has been nine months since the last weeding and the area was densely covered with grass and plants. Branches that have grown much longer were pruned, and undergrowth between the trees were weeded. The sawgrass outside the tree planting area, which has also grown to the height of a person, was also removed using grass-cutters.
NTT West Saga Group will continue to engage in this project and other environmental conservation activities as well as activities that are closely tied to the local communities.
