Tochigi Prefecture Launches Portal Site for Forest, Village, River and Lake Cleanup Activities

On August 27, 2026, Tochigi Prefecture launched a portal website that compiles information about various cleanup activities taking place in forests, rural areas, rivers, and lakes within the prefecture. The site introduces groups involved in these environmental efforts and provides easy-to-understand guidance for those who want to join or report their activities.

The purpose is to promote environmental awareness and encourage community cooperation. The site offers convenient access for foreign residents and all local people to learn about and participate in these cleanup actions.

Users can apply for listing, update information, report activities, or withdraw their listing through online electronic applications. It is also possible to apply by email, mail, or in person. Detailed application forms and procedures are available on the official Tochigi Prefecture website.

Residents interested in helping keep their community clean are encouraged to use the portal site to join cleanup groups and contribute to a cleaner environment.
