Participation in Yoshino Forest Forest Maintenance Activities

Mount Yoshino, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot with rows of fine cedar and cypress trees, has been registered as a World Heritage Site, but in recent years it has been dotted with degraded land and abandoned forests, raising concerns about the impact on the landscape and on soil and water control. Against this background, the prefecture, town, businesses and others have joined forces to hold the Yoshino Forest Reforestation Initiative, which EDION has been participating in since 2008. They thin out and plant trees along the mountain trail from Yoshino Shrine to Kinpusenji Zaodo Hall (a national treasure), and are working with many local residents to protect the natural environment of Mount Yoshino.

Participation in Hiroshima Forest Reforestation Activities

The Hiroshima Forest Tree Planting Activities is an activity that began in 2005 with tree planting in Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, to regenerate the forest that was lost in the August 1994 wildfire. In July 2018, landslides caused by heavy rains in western Japan caused serious damage again, and even today, tree planting and grass cutting are being carried out as part of a forest restoration project in EDION local companies, governments, NPOs, and others are participating. continues to participate. Although it will take a long time to restore the rich greenery, we are continuing our steady efforts with citizen volunteers to restore the forest to be as resilient as possible to disasters.
