On the 15th of September, OISCA organized a five-hour tour to allow the 80 participants, mostly members of the different companies supporting the Coastal Reforestation Project in Natori City to have a deeper understanding on the objectives of the project.

On the 1st of September, OISCA International organized an event of putting individual nets to secure and protect the local species of seedlings planted three to five years ago from being damage by wild deer in the 1,500 meter elevation of Mount Fuji.
