Jingu Gaien Midori Project official website: https://gaien-midori-project.jp【What is the Reiwa Tree Donation Program?】Meiji Jingu Gaien was formerly built through monetary donations and donated trees from the public under
the call of people including the Japanese industrialist Eiichi Shibusawa and continues to be used to thisday. Over many years, it has been renewed through human labor and opened to the public as a green spaceand cultural and sports facility, and has been enjoyed by many people. Based on a desire to make thegreenery of Jingu Gaien more accessible and enjoyable for the general public over the next 100 years, wewill launch the Reiwa Tree Donation Program while receiving cooperation from The Tokyo Chamber ofCommerce and Industry in which Eiichi Shibusawa, who devoted his full effort to the establishment ofMeiji Jingu Gaien, served as the first chairman.
The program will be designed to create new greenery in Jingu Gaien through a process in which thedevelopers will select trees of appropriate species and ages and plant new trees, while taking into
consideration the wishes of the public and the vegetation in each area. In this way, we will aim to not
merely accept the donations of trees themselves, but to make it easier for those who agree with the purposeof the program to participate, and develop a plan to raise funds for the creation of new greenery.
