Environmental Communication - Social Contribution and Environmental Awareness

Every autumn since 2001, employees participating in the LE activities and other participating in the MGV activities have been jointly conducting forest preservation activities as volunteers in the Hitorizawa Community Woods, located in the city of Yokohama. Since fiscal 2006, the volunteers have also been cutting down the weeds in summer. In November 2006 our eighth joint activity was conducted. A total of 1,057 people participated in the joint activities conducted in the past. Our activities comprise three parts: weed cutting and cleaning; nature observation/woodwork/learning about growing trees; and planting cherry trees and sawtooth oaks and trimming plum trees. This activity is supported by the city of Yokohama, local forest volunteer groups, and owners of the woodland.
