Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture had a protected forest along the coast covering 86 hectares, but it was damaged by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake 13 years ago. The city is working on restoring protected forests, as they can be expected to have the effect of weakening the power of tsunamis.
On the 18th, 26 local parents and children planted trees in the Idono district. If they are nurtured properly, they will grow to about 2 meters in about 10 to 15 years.
