I participated in Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori Bamboo Forest Festival!

　On April 16 (Sun), we participated in the bamboo forest festival held at Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori, and challenged to dig bamboo shoots with the community and residents.
　"Shimin-no-Mori" is a system that preserves Yokohama City's unique green space, which started in 1971.In addition to the purpose of protecting and nurturing greenery, citizens can relax with the cooperation of people who own forests. We use it as a place.
　The Ikebe Shimin-no-Mori was opened in April 2017 as the second Shimin-no-Mori in Tsuzuki Ward   following the KawawaNeighborhood Associations-no-Mori.
　I was worried that the day before the Bamboo Forest Festival would be held due to heavy rain, but on this day it was fine to see if everyone's thoughts arrived, and more than 100 people gathered. This bamboo shoot digging is carried out for the purpose of thinning out shoots to grow and protect bamboo forests, and can be taken home only on this day. After the opening ceremony, we explored the citizens' Moriuchi, aiming for a bamboo shoot, and everyone from adults to children, enjoyed digging bamboo shoots.
　In addition, this year, the “Bamboo Lantern Festival” will be held for the first time in the fall to let you know the charm of bamboo, so I am looking forward to it.
　Shimin-no-Mori is home to many kinds of plants besides bamboo, and you can see the view of Minato Mirai from the observation square. Please take a walk in Shimin-no-Mori.
