Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 190"Creating a Healthy Corporate Forest in Ariake Coast" Undergrowth Weeding Activity September 17, 2016 NTT West Saga Group
On September 17, 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 sixth round of the weeding activity.
Although it was reported that typhoon no. 16 was approaching Kyushu, the weather was sunny and humid on the day of the event. A total of 44 participants who are employees and family members of Saga Group worked up a sweat as they took part in the work.
It has been three months since the last weeding, and the branches have grown much longer. The sawgrass outside the tree planting area has also grown quite significantly. Participants worked hard to prune the branches and weed the overgrowth using grass-cutters and other tools.
Thanks to the devoted and united effort of the participants, the view of the drained wetland area along the coast looked much cleaner and clearer.
NTT West Saga Group will continue to engage actively in environmental conservation activities as well as activities that contribute to the local communities.
