[Participatory] Volunteer Activities - Environmental Preservation -
Preservation of Yanami Mire
We have been conducting environmental preservation activities in the Ramsar Site "Yanami Mire" (Tokai Hilly Land Spring-fed Mires) in Toyota City. In order to protect about 300 types of plants such as Eriocaulon nudicuspe which is rare, we have been performing mowing of the bamboo grass and removal of introduced species to protect the local environment and transmit the local environment to the next generation.
Bamboo Cutting at Shidare Riverbed
Bamboo grows wild around the Wakuwaku Square (the former Shidare Station) on the right of the riverbed of the Yahagi River, and the Yahagi River was not visible due to the bamboo. Bamboo cutting was started based on the thinking that this area should be a place of recreation and relaxation for local residents. We have been also participating in the volunteer activities to help the maintenance of the riverbed.
Nishihirose Elementary School Biotope Preservation
The Nishihirose Elementary School biotope preservation is an activity to expand green areas in the school by planting and maintaining trees in the school ground. The biotope is maintained by the volunteer activities by us, as well as the volunteer activities by the students, the school, the local PTA and the Maruneyama Volunteer Team.

This is an event where the entire Matsudaira-go area is lit up using bamboo lanterns to embody the wish for world peace (Tenka Taihei) of Matsudaira Chikauji who was the founder of the Matsudaira clan, and the feeling of Tokugawa Ieyasu who achieved the world peace (Tenka Taihei). We help the setting up of about 1,200 bamboo lanterns and the lighting up of candles.
