WORKSHOP 1
- What the participants have leared until yesterday.
- Revising Students' Statement draft
Starting today, we are going to have three-day workshop led by Prof Joyashree Roy. It is going to be a big challenge for the students. A lot of brain work. Long and heated discussions.
This is the next level they must conquer. After this, they will be completely different, I believe.

Field Trip to Matsuoji Temple
- Planted 5 cherry trees in memorial of this program.
- Cut some bamboo trees to experience the maintenance activities.
- Made bamboo fence using the cut bamboo trees.
- Took a walk in the forest.
The forest behind the Matsuoji Temple is maintained by the cooperation among local government officials, volunteering university students and local NPO. The bamboo forest was densely crowded before thinning started by the NPO and volunteers.
Spreading bamboo is a big problem in many places in Japan. It invades neighboring forest and monopolize the area. Proper management by thinning and elimination is necessary to control the expansion, but local government or land owners do not have enough resource to do it. Cooperation with volunteer citizen is one way to promote such management.
