We do activities surrounded by nature with Udoyama (mountain) of Nihondaira standing nearby.
*Wastes and Recycling, *Others
We regularly meet once a month on a Sunday from ten in the morning to three in the afternoon. Based on our corporate philosophy, "Nurturing Thoughtful Children," we think about and experience what is necessary to protect the environment and to foster our area.
Our group consists of a wide range of students, from first graders to tenth graders. With the support of nearby university students, volunteer groups, and incorporated nonprofit organizations, we are able to participate in various activities at the forest, river, and our store.
Have fun during activities while in harmony with people and nature.
*Nurture the ability to think about the nature through 6 years of theme oriented annual activities.
*Bring out the innate curiosity and ability to think in the children.
*Through group activities, learn to work in teams and gain an understanding of social rules and manners.
*The store and club should work and grow together.

We would like to interact with groups from other prefectures as we did at the three-prefecture meeting.
Let's talk about the environment and share what we learned through regular activities.
For five days I was able to interact with people from other countries and prefectures. At workshops, I strived to share information on activities with foreigners with my limited English. During these five days, I could take part in activities along with participants from other prefectures and countries.
The destruction of forests is a serious problem nowadays. Forests around the world are decreasing in number due to acid rain and deforestation. It is important for each individual around the world, with a clear awareness of the issue, to take action such as using recycled paper.
