About this event
A bus tour allowing participants to experience the charm of Nara's forests and trees through all five senses will be held in Shimokitayama Village, Nara Prefecture. Participants will hear directly from Naoki Kita of the Shimokitayama Village Office Agriculture, Forestry and Construction Division, a forest specialist, about deer damage that has become severe in recent years, wildlife damage causing concern nationwide, and changes in biodiversity. This is a valuable opportunity to deepen understanding of the current state and challenges of nature while being guided through the actual forest. The tour also provides a video in advance to learn about Shimokitayama Village. Meeting and dismissing at Kintetsu Yamato-Yagi Station, participants are recommended to wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes suitable for mountain trails. A bento lunch will be provided. This tour is conducted as part of forest conservation initiatives jointly pursued by Coop Natural Nara and Shimokitayama Village.
