Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 2289th Forest Volunteer Activity June 10, 2017 NTT West Gifu Group

On June 10, 2017 (Saturday), NTT West Gifu Group held a forest volunteer activity to plant trees and weed undergrowth at "Nagaragawa Fureai no Mori" located at Mitahora of Gifu City. A total of 57 participants, including employees, family members and retired employees from the "Yomoginokai" group, took part in the event.

The sky was clear on the day of the event, and participants engaged in the activity in a pleasant natural environment surrounded by verdant green.
Marking the ninth round of the same activity, participants engaged skillfully in work that required them to bend over or use a lawn mower, and children helped out while struggling with the use of bamboo brooms which they were not familiar with. Thanks to the participants, branches that were cut off piled up in no time, and the area looked extremely clean after the activity.

At the end of the activity, a popular hands-on workshop to experience "yoseue" (group planting) of seasonal flowers was held. Participants including parents and their children enjoyed the process from choosing flowers to arranging them.
Some first-time participants commented happily that they are looking forward to attending the next round of this event.

Saplings which the participants have grown from acorns at home were planted at "Nagaragawa Fureai no Mori" last November. These saplings have grown considerably and it would be exciting to see how much they have grown at the next round of the event.

It is hoped that this activity will help to raise awareness toward protecting the nature as well as spread the habit of growing flowers at home to create a "midori ippai" environment that is surrounded by greenery.

NTT West Gifu Group will continue to engage in environmental conservation efforts for the activity to take root on a wide scale.
