Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 313Participation in "Forestation with Water and Greenery" Prefectural Resident Volunteer Activity October 28, 2018 NTT West Miyazaki Group
On October 28, 2018 (Sunday), a total of about 70 employees and family members of NTT West Miyazaki Group took part in the "Forestation with Water and Greenery" prefectural resident volunteer activity held by the organizer, Miyazaki Greening Promotion Agency.
The activity started with a greeting by Mr. Yoshida, Manager of General Affairs Department at NTT West Miyazaki Branch, who thanked the NTT West Miyazaki Group companies and affiliates for their united effort to participate in the event. He also urged everyone to perform work with safety as the top priority, while hoping the planting activity will help to protect the environment and enhance the level of environmental awareness.
After the opening address, participants proceeded to the venue of the ceremony at the multi-purpose plaza space in Miyazaki Seaside Park. At the ceremony, Mr. Kanbara, Vice Governor of Miyazaki Prefecture, delivered a speech and presented awards to those with outstanding contributions to greening.
A total of about 500 volunteer participants from different parts of the prefecture performed warm-up exercise together with "Mu-chan," the dog mascot character of Miyazaki Prefecture, followed by engaging in activities to prune tree branches, weed undergrowth and plant trees at Awakigahara Forest Park.
Upon moving to the site for planting, participants dug holes with a hoe, planted the seedlings carefully one by one and tied them against a bamboo pole to prevent them from falling, while hoping that they would grow into large trees that can withstand the force of the wind.
During undergrowth weeding, participants struggled to remove the densely-grown grass, and completed the work in about 1.5 hours after working up a good sweat using sickles which they are not used to.
NTT West Miyazaki Group will continue to engage actively in environmental conservation activities in cooperation with local government bodies and NPOs through the "Midori Ippai Project."
