[33rd] Participated in "Cleanup & Baking Potato Tournament & Tree Planting Party" at Shimin-no-Mori, Kamoi Hara

　On Saturday, November 4, we participated in a forest cleaning activity held at Kamoi Hara Shimin-no-Mori. Under the fine weather, many people, including the protection society and local children, participated.
　In tree planting, we planted a tree called "Mukuroji". In kanji, it is a very auspicious tree that is written as "No illness (children do not suffer from illness)" and I hope that it will grow greatly in the forest watched by the local community. .
　Also, in the open space of the venue, bamboo art work "Running in the Sky" by the members of the protection society was exhibited. It is said that the expression of people's thoughts intersect over time and space, and the appearance of large bamboo curves overlapping multiple layers against the background of the blue sky was a masterpiece. I would like you to take a look.
　At the end, the sweet potato "baked sweet potato" cultivated by the protection society and the local people was served, and I also enjoyed it. The smile of everyone who received the roasted sweet potato was also very impressive.
　Unbelievably that a lot of garbage had been dumped illegally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the local community for continuing to manage the forest as a rich place of relaxation.
　Please visit "Kamoi Hara Shimin-no-Mori" where various events are held throughout the year.
