Coastal forest recovery project 10-year plan (hardwood nursery department)
Activity grant
- Project Description
In addition to raising black pine seedlings from FY2011 onwards, we have set up a young tree stand at Takadatekumanodou in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, and a nursery at Shimomasuda. We are gathering samples and cuttings of hardwood tree species. Our final production goal in 2014 for species of cherry, beech, spindle, pittosporum, privet and others is 2,500 seedlings. We will involve not only farmers in areas devastated by the disaster, but also by ordinary volunteers in the replanting.

- Main activities
- OISCA follows the basic philosophy of OISCA International in specified activities. It conducts re-planting and agricultural development mainly in Asian and Pacific regions for environmental conservation. In particular, OISCA is involved in training to help local youth in each country become leaders in their local communities. The youngsters who complete OISCA training become involved in local agricultural development. In Japan as well, we are involved in tree planting and forest maintenance, to help protect the natural environment.
