Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 335Participation in Tree-thinning Works (Forest Conservation Activity) at "NTT Midori no Mori (Green Forest)" May 21, 2019 NTT West Hiroshima Group
On May 21, 2019 (Saturday), 98 employees and family members of NTT West Hiroshima Group took part in the "NTT Midori no Mori (Green Forest)" tree-thinning (forest conservation) activity.
Based on the "Agreement on Forest Conservation and Management" which was concluded with Hiroshima Prefecture with effect from June 2013, Hiroshima Group has been engaging in biodiversity conservation activities by setting up a "NTT Midori no Mori (Green Forest)" within the Hiroshima Prefecture Tree Planting Center located in Hiroshima City, Higashi-ku.
Under the high temperature of 28ﾂｺC on the day of the event, participants engaged in tree-thinning (forest conservation) activities to cut and remove unwanted trees that have grown bent or are stunted to help promote the growth of a young forest.
"Moorii," a forest fairy who is well known as the mascot character of Hiroshima's forestation initiative, appeared at the opening ceremony to help liven up the atmosphere and boost the morale of the participants.
After the opening ceremony, participants prepared themselves by putting on safety helmets and carrying saws before making their way to the forest.
Ground was unsteady in the forest due to the thick piles of dead leaves and participants had to perform work on a steep slope. Nonetheless, following the instructions from the workers, the tree-thinning activity ended smoothly without any injury.
At the end of the event, the slightly dark forest became brighter and cleaner, transforming into an environment that allows the trees to thrive further.
NTT West Hiroshima Group will continue to engage in activities to protect the global environment and contribute to the local communities.
