In Hokkaido, a tree planting festival has been held every year since 1950 to convey the importance of forests. To achieve the goal of the "One Tree Planting and Planting for Every Hokkaido Resident" initiative, which aims to plant and plant 5 million trees across the prefecture, the festival will be held throughout the prefecture. This year, the festival will be held in the southern part of Hokkaido, which has a long history of tree planting.
