Enjoy the nature and history of the marshland! Sarobetsu Marshland Backyard Tour Experience Report [Sarobetsu Marshland

The tour begins!
Now, once you have tied your boots tightly, it is time to start the tour. First, we will enter the Peat Industry Museum next to the Marshland Center. Inside the dimly lit building is a collection of large machinery from the time when peat mining was done. The peat was excavated from the marsh and turned into peat moss, a soil conditioner, which was then sold.As we are escorted outside, we see a rusty red boat at the entrance of the marsh, its body lying heavily on the ground. This is a peat dredger, a boat used to excavate peat. The rough surface and the majestic appearance of the vessel make it look old-fashioned, but it was in use until the early 2000s. The railings and ladders that stretch across the hull create a sense of excitement.



Ecosystems unique to marshlands
As you walk along the forest paths, you will see the delicate and rich ecosystems that are unique to marshlands, such as the vine moss, the Japanese honeywort, and the insectivorous plant, the mousseline moss.



Nature's rebirth over a long period of time
We followed the guide's instructions to help nature regenerate itself instead of just playing around. The ground is covered with biodegradable hemp netting (a special coarse cloth) to make it easier for newly flown plant seeds and ivy to become entangled in the exposed land where plants have been unable to grow roots. Next to us, small light green plant leaves were sprouting on the cloth that was installed several years ago. From now on, over a mind-boggling number of years, little by little, nature will be regenerated little by little.
