Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 219NTT West Group Tree Planting Event May 21, 2017 NTT West Group

On May 21, 2016 (Sunday), the NTT West Group Tree Planting Event was held at the Sakai 7-3 District Forest of Symbiosis.

Started since 2011, this is the 13th round of the tree planting project. Blessed with clear weather of the day of the event, 400 trees were planted across an area of 1,200m2.

In the opening address, Mr. Uema, a board member of NTT West, expressed that the tree planting event for protecting the environment is an important activity considering the role of NTT West, which is to resolve social issues through ICT. This was followed by a tree planting ceremony by NTT West board member - Mr. Uema, President of NTT Mediasupply - Mr. Takahashi, and Manager of NTT West Osaka-minami Branch - Mr. Teranishi.

The species of trees planted this year include Japanese maple, black pine, Japanese privet, bayberry, Machilus thunbergi, Castanopsis sieboldii, Ubame oak and Camellia japonica. 50 plants of each species, which added up to a total of 400 plants, were carefully planted and labeled with tags by all the participants under the guidance of members from Nature Osaka.

After planting the trees, a nagashi-somen (catching and eating somen noodles from running water) event was held for all the employees and family members who took part in the event as an opportunity for them to communicate.
Thanks to the World Nagashisomen Association, which aims to spread the culture of nagashi-somen to all parts of the world, a 25-meter long bamboo platform and an official slider of the association were installed at the venue. Both children and adults enjoyed the noodles under the blue sky.

At the closing address, Mr. Teranishi, Manager of NTT West Osaka-minami Branch, concluded the event with the hope that participants can develop interest toward environmental protection through tree planting and take part in grass-cutting and tree-planting activities together with the "Midori no Kai" group.

Every participant of this activity sincerely hopes that the saplings planted on this day will eventually grow into big trees and provide a wonderful habitat for a wide variety of living creatures.
