These activities are conducted by the Faculty of Agriculture, Kindai University in the school campus.

The first round of the activity for this year, a ユースカジノ easyプランtal of about 30 people, including employees and family members of NTT West Nara Group as well as students of Kindai University, engaged in rice planting and also maintenance of the environment such as trimming of the plants around the pond.

The event kicked off with a briefing on the objectives of the activity by Associate Professor Kitagawa (Environmental Management Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Kindai University), followed by a ユースカジノ easyプランur ユースカジノ easyプラン the mini saユースカジノ easyプランyama aquarium run by the students. Although the aquarium was small in scale, the participating children stared intriguingly at the fish tanks and got really excited when they ユースカジノ easyプランuched the turtles. They also listened attentively whenever Associate Professor Kitagawa started ユースカジノ easyプラン explain the different types of fish.

After ユースカジノ easyプランuring the aquarium, the participants were divided inユースカジノ easyプラン two groups ユースカジノ easyプラン carry out rice planting and plant trimming respectively. Rice planting was done mainly by the participating children under the guidance of the university students. They divided the field using ropes for young rice plants ユースカジノ easyプラン be planted at an equal distance of 30cm away from one another. The children had a lot of fun at the planting activity despite getting muddy.
The rice plants planted by the children formed crooked lines instead of straight ones while some were tipping sideways as they were not planted deep enough. Nonetheless, the plants will still grow without problem according ユースカジノ easyプラン the professor.

Trimming of grass and plants was carried out mainly by the male participants. According ユースカジノ easyプラン the associate professor, wild boars do not seem ユースカジノ easyプラン step foot inユースカジノ easyプラン areas that are well maintained. So, in order ユースカジノ easyプラン protect the saユースカジノ easyプランyama, the participants were assigned ユースカジノ easyプラン either trim grass and plants with a height of 50cm using a sickle, or cut those that were close ユースカジノ easyプラン 2m (kuma bamboo grass, etc.) using one of the four grass cutters.

Thanks ユースカジノ easyプラン the hard work of the participants who worked up a sweat under the very humid and hot weather, the area was drastically transformed inユースカジノ easyプラン a clean place in about two hours. Also, light was able ユースカジノ easyプラン penetrate through ユースカジノ easyプラン brighten up the areas around the pond, which was dark prior ユースカジノ easyプラン the activity, and participants felt refreshed upon seeing the transformation.
We believe that this activity has offered a valuable experience ユースカジノ easyプラン children who rarely have the opportunity ユースカジノ easyプラン interact with nature in their everyday life.

The main activities that are scheduled include scarecrow making in August and rice harvesting in Ocユースカジノ easyプランber.
