LINE 212 "Gifu Midori Ippai Project" - Cleaning of Nagara River after the Summer Holiday Season

Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 212"Gifu Midori Ippai Project" - Cleaning of Nagara River after the Summer Holiday Season September 10, 2016 NTT West Gifu Group

On September 10, 2016 (Saturday), NTT West Gifu Group held an activity to clean Nagara River after the summer holiday season has come to an end.

The venue of the cleaning activity was the wide riverbed area along Nagara River where camping and barbeque activities are held during the summer holidays. Perhaps for this reason, large quantities of litter that were not brought home by the users, such as plastic bottles, empty cans, food wastes, disposable utensils, grilling meshes and fireworks, were found scattered around this area at the end of summer, and there were also a lot of trash from the upstream that were washed ashore such as when the water level of the river rose.

A total of 113 participants, including employees, family members and retired employees of the group companies, gathered at 8 a.m. to take part in the cleaning activity. They focused on cleaning up the wide area along the river, and were drenched in sweat as they gathered a large quantity of litter.

During the summer season, events such as Nagara River cormorant fishing and Nagara River "Takigi Noh" rituals are held at night on the riverbed, which evoke a fantastical feel among the viewers. There are also many hotels near the Nagaragawa Onsen (Nagara River Hot Spring) area which attract a large number of visitors throughout the year.

NTT West Gifu Group will continue to engage in this endeavor for visitors to enjoy the scenic and clear river that is litter-free, as well as to maintain a beautiful Nagara River for future generations.
