Impact 1

Biodiversity and CO2 removal

Trees remove carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and store it as organic carbon within their bodies.

Impact 2

Economic and Disaster Prevention

Supplying wood and wood products, and developing forests as tourism resources, brings economic benefits to the region.
It enhances disaster prevention functions through forests' soil erosion control and flood prevention effects.

Activity 1

Nursery and Tree Planting

Nursery stock suited to the region are grown for several years.
Once the seedlings are mature, we clear the undergrowth at the planting site and plant the seedlings.
We cultivate the trees while performing thinning and pruning to prevent forest overcrowding. When the trees are sufficiently mature, we harvest them for use, and carry out reforestation to maintain a sustainable forest economy.

Activity 2

Tourism and Educational Purposes

Forests offer recreational benefits through seasonal landscape changes and the air-purifying effects of trees. This project utilizes forests as tourism resources for ecotourism and educational programs.
