Environmental Activities

Tree-planting initiative –Seiko Instruments Forest–

In August 2014, the Makuhari Unit entered into the Cooperative Forest Agreement with the Chiba prefectural government, and is currently carrying out the planting of black pine trees in the Seiko Instruments Forest located along Kujūkuri Beach in Chiba. Weed clearing and ball safety net repair was entrusted to the Chiba Prefecture Forest Owners Association in FY 2022. In April 2023, the agreement was renewed again, and growth of Japanese black pine continues to be watched attentively.
