This is a look at the first # tasks: # forest survey and # bamboo cutting. First, the forest is surveyed before the bamboo is cut. A section is created and the number of bamboo shoots and tree sprouts (baby trees) are counted. After that, the bamboo is cut, allowing light to enter the forest floor, causing buds to emerge from buried nuts, promoting the natural regeneration of the # forest. Flowering plants other than bamboo also increase, bringing the # forest closer to being highly diverse. It will be exciting to see how many sprouts there will be in a few years. # Forestry # Small forestry # Hokkaido # Hokuryu Town, Uryu District # Hokuryu Town # Forest # Forest # Hokkaido timber # Firewood # Hodagi # Hokkaido forestry # Self-logging forestry # Sustainable living # Living with nature # Satoyama management # Country living # Forestry for living with nature # Under natural conditions
