This is an initiative to connect people who want to volunteer with a forest creation activity group working in Yokohama City. This system allows individual forest creation volunteer registrants in Yokohama City to help with forest creation activities when they need help in forest creation activities, such as wanting a forest creation organization to help with the work or need human resources. Individual volunteers can participate in activities of interest at various activity sites.
