Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 239Participation in the Gifu Midori Ippai Project - Nagara River Beautification Campaign August 6, 2017 NTT West Gifu Group
On August 6, 2017 (Sunday), a total of 98 participants including employees, family members and retired employees of NTT West Gifu Group took part in the 2017 "2nd Nagara River Beautification Campaign" organized by the Nagara River Beautification Campaign Committee.
This campaign is a cleanup activity that is held three times a year as part of the effort to put into action the "I Love Gifu" slogan proposed by Gifu Shimbun and Gifu Broadcasting System.
A day before the cleanup activity, a fireworks festival was held at the riverfront of Nagara River, and large quantities of litter were left scattered, including ground sheets, empty lunchboxes and ashes of rocket fireworks.
Also, large stones were moved by the spectators from the riverside to anchor the ground sheets to the concrete floor of the levee, and returning the stones to the riverside heavy involved heavy-lifting work.
Started at 6 a.m., the cleaning activity helped to remove trash from the riverbed and restore the beauty of Nagara River.
Renowned as one of the three clearest rivers in Japan, water at the middle reach of Nagara River has also been selected as one of the hundred most exquisite waters of Japan. The river is also a famous site for the traditional cormorant fishing (ukai) activity, while a large number of spectators from different parts of Japan come to watch the "Nagara River National Fireworks Festival."
NTT West Gifu Group will continue to take part in the cleanup activities in order to maintain a beautiful Nagara River as well as a fine environment for living things that inhabit the area.
