Nabari 3

Organized together with "Akame no Mori wo Sodateru kai", a local environmental NPO for
conservation of forest in Akame area, Mie pref. since 1999. Being located near from both big cities of
Osaka and Nagoya, there were some plans of a golf link and disposing industrial garbage and local people
have stopped them by "Woods Trust" movement. They formed this group in 1996 to collect donations to
buy and protect lands, to own a pension to enjoy nature, to maintain forests, to create a pond for
dragonflies, to host national copse meeting, etc.
W: We will do forest work such as cutting trees in the forest and carring them out. Some works involve
the use of blades and machineries (we will teach you how to use them). We may work even in rain if it’s
not so heavy. Work is quite hard from morning to evening. Sometimes, we might have some
communication with mentally challenged children who are working here.
