[47th meeting] Participated in planting turf cherry trees at the Tsurumi River riverbed

On Friday, March 19, under the refreshing blue sky of spring, `` Midori, River and Wind no Kai '', who regularly cleans and plant flowers around the Tsurumi River near Kamoi Station. I have also participated in planting.
In a part of the riverbed where pebbles and weeds were carefully removed, handmade bamboo retainers were installed so that the soil was not washed away by rain, and I felt the ingenuity. Planting mosss was my first experience, but with the advice of everyone, I dug holes on the bank at regular intervals and planted seedlings. The roots and leaves seem to gradually spread from the seedlings planted this time, and I am looking forward to seeing the turf cherry blossoms blooming all over.
"The nearby Kamoike Bridge is used by many people from the Tsuzuki Ward   side as well. If you enjoy the moss cherry blossoms seen from the bridge, you can like Midori Ward." In the future, it is said that regular mowing, pebble removal, and watering will be performed throughout the year. I realized once again that beautiful scenery that many people can enjoy was created and maintained through the activities of the local people.
The row of cherry blossom trees along the Tsurumi River around Kamoi Station will be in full bloom. In the usual year, the Kamoi Cherry Blossom Festival and cherry blossom viewing while having dinner, but this year we would like you to refrain from having dinner under the cherry blossoms to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Why don't you take a stroll to enjoy the collaboration between cherry blossoms and turf cherry blossoms while taking measures against infectious diseases?

Fiscal 2020 was a year that was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a year when I realized the rich environment and charm of Midori Ward in the four seasons, starting with rice planting in Tando, harvesting experience with the help of farmers, Shimin-no-Mori protection society activities, and the planting of moss sakura.
We will continue to work to protect and nurture this rich environment and to make more inhabitants feel the charm of Midori Ward.
