Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 217Pine Forest Conservation Activity at Fukui Beach of Itoshima City April 22, 2017 NTT West Fukuoka Group
On April 22, 2017, a total of 87 employees and family members of NTT West Fukuoka Group participated in the sixth round of the pine forest conservation activity at Fukui Beach (Fukuoka Prefecture, Itoshima City, Nijo-Fukui).
This initiative makes use of the Adopt Program of Itoshima City that was introduced in August 2014, where segments that are assigned by the city are regarded as "foster (adopted) children" for cleaning and beautification activities to be carried out in the long term and not just temporarily.
The sky was clear on the day of the event, and with support from the "Pine Forest Preservation Society," the body that was commissioned to manage the Itoshima City Adopt Project starting this fiscal year, participants took part in activities to help maintain the beautiful pine forest, including branch picking, pine-needle raking and grass cutting to protect the pine trees from weevils.
According to the personnel in charge at Itoshima City, damages to the pine trees at Fukui Beach caused by weevils have been reduced to one to two trees yearly, thanks to this conservation activity.
NTT West Fukuoka Group will unite its efforts to promote the "Midori Ippai Project" while deepening its cooperative ties with organizations such as local governments.
