～11 students of the 3rd year of Junior High School joined an experiential activity in a reed bed they had visited for fieldwork previously ～

11 students (5 boys & 6 girls) of the 3rd year of Junior High School joined “The 3rd activities: Let’s cut reed to regenerate the mouth of the river damaged by Tsunami” which is one of the activities of “Iwate/Miyagi prefecture; The everybody’s regeneration project of Kitakami River basin” & “Let’s make a new Kitakami River” hosted by TOYOTA marketing Japan coporation, co-hosted by Riasunomori, incorporated non-profit organization & cooperated by Kumagai Master Thatchers Co., Ltd.(Kumagai Sangyo) on 5 December, 2015.

They joined it with the thoughts, “What progress has there been with the reeds we planted when we visited for fieldwork in July?”, “Did the reeds take root & grow well?” They confirmed it from inside the bus.

After experiencing “Cutting reeds” & “Making KADOMATSU (New year’s pine decoration) with reeds”, they listened to a lecture about “Meaning of the activities to regenerate reed beds” & realized the major role that reeds play & the importance of an environment preservation. After the activity, they were given the opportunity to give a presentation to make use of their experience for the following year.
We will have them report it at the meeting next January.
