In order to prevent the fallen trees that caused the power outage caused by typhoon No. 15 in September last year, volunteers carried out activities to conserve the forest in Sanmu City, Chiba Prefecture.
This activity was called by a forest conservation organization in Sammu City, and on the 19th, 10 volunteers including university students participated.
The forest where we worked was damaged by Typhoon No. 15 last year, and we were preparing the forest for thinning and planting saplings, such as cleaning up fallen cedar and cutting grass.
The group has been active for eight years, but since that time many trees have become easy to fall down due to insufficient maintenance of the forest, so continue to conserve the forest as a countermeasure against fallen trees. Is necessary.
A female student in the first year of university who participated as a parent and child from Tokyo said, "The typhoon made me think about the relationship between people and the forest. This was my second participation and I felt it was worthwhile to see the forest changing. I will. "
Mr. Kazuyuki Takabe, the person in charge of the organization, said, "I want you to know that in order to prevent fallen trees, people must continue to take responsibility for the forests that have been modified by people."
