Introduction of group activities

Based primarily in the Tagami school district of Otsu City, the group engages in diverse environmental activities and nature experiences with children. These include "rice paddy activities" involving rice cultivation and wildlife surveys, a "rice paddy cafe" where participants plant, harvest, and cook sweet potatoes, and "Lake Biwa learning" using canoes. The group also participates in international exchanges such as the World Lake Conference, as well as exchanges and experiential learning with other regions.

Activity Period: April 2026 - March 2027
Activity Area: Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture
Activity Details: Amidst a fading connection between children and nature, the project uses rice paddies as a stage for conducting surveys of living things and agricultural experiences. Through intergenerational exchange, the project aims to deepen the understanding of ecosystems and the significance of agriculture.
