Kohhokusui and Green School

For Municipal Elementary Schools in Kohoku Ward, we offer hands-on environmental disaster prevention learning courses in elementary school classes to learn about the natural environment and disaster prevention in the Tsurumi River basin.
In the course, we will cultivate a mind that values the natural environment by catching fish and observing creatures on the Tsurumi River. It is also an opportunity for elementary school studenｔ to learn about flood control measures in the basin of the Tsurumi River, which was once called a rampage river, and to think about global warming countermeasures.
In carrying out the program, we give due consideration to the safety and security of children, such as wearing life jackets.

An exhibition is held at the Tsurumi River Basin Center, etc., so that residents of the city can see the results of the activities, such as exhibits produced based on what elementary school students learned in the course and the state during the course (February to March).

On Sunday, November 19, 2023, an environmental disaster prevention learning course was held in the forest of Keio University Hiyoshi Campus.
With the cooperation of Keio University Hiyoshi Maru-no-kai, we toured forests and disaster prevention ponds (Hiyo Pond) on campus, and learned about disaster prevention measures in the forest. In addition, in Ichino Valley, we observed waterside creatures and planted nokan elephants. In the pond made of spring water in Ichino Valley, endangered species of Hotokedo, medaka, Kawana (slender snails), and goago were caught (after observation and released). In the planting experience, the children of the participants played a central role in digging holes with a scoop and planted seedlings of nokan elephant. Flowers are scheduled to bloom around July next year.
Participants commented, "I increased awareness of the natural environment through the experience," and "I understood the state of the forest and disaster prevention was well understood." Through this hands-on activities, I was able to raise my awareness of the natural environment and disaster prevention.

On Sunday, September 17, 2023, we carried out course of nature observation and fish catch experience, disaster prevention learning.
We observed nature at Shin-Yokohama Park, descended to turtle shell Hashimoto, and observed fish catching and creatures on the Tsurumi River (we put on a life jacket and took safety measures.) 。 Fish, shrimp, crabs, goats, etc. were caught. After that, we moved to the Tsurumi River Basin Center, a regional disaster prevention facility, where we heard the function and role of Shin-Yokohama Park as a multi-purpose Yu Suichi, explanation of basin flood control, and learned about disaster prevention.
Participants commented, "I was glad to interact with nature," "I want to value nature," and "I had a valuable experience." Through the experience of interacting with nature, I was able to deepen my understanding of environmental conservation and disaster prevention.

There is a lot of nature in Kohoku Ward. Together with Midori-chan and Nanda-chan, learn about the charms and issues of forests and forests, and think about what each person can do.
