[33rd] Participated in “Cleanup & Yakiimo Tournament & Tree Planting Party” in Kamoi Hara Citizen's Forest

　On Saturday, November 4, we participated in a forest cleaning activity held at Kamoi Hara Citizen's Forest. Under fine weather, a large number of people, including members of the protection society and local children, participated.
　In the tree planting, we planted a tree called "Mukuroji". In kanji, it is a very auspicious tree that writes "Non-patient child (child does not suffer from illness)" and hopes that it will grow for a long time in the forest watched by the local people. .
　In addition, in the open space of the venue, a bamboo art work "Run to the Sky" by the members of the protection society was exhibited. It is said that people's "feelings" intersect and connect across space and space, and the appearance of large bamboo curves overlapping over and over against the backdrop of the blue sky was a masterpiece. I would like you to take a look at it.
　At the end, the sweet potato "baked potatoes" grown by the protection society and the local community were served, and I was also delicious. The smile of everyone who receives the roasted potatoes was also very impressive.
　I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the local people for their continued management of the forest as a rich place to relax, so that it is incredible that a lot of garbage was once illegally dumped.
　Please visit the Kamoi Hara Citizen's Forest, where various events are held throughout the year.
