## Decreasing Opportunities to Connect with Nature and the Crisis of Forests
The environment surrounding children is changing drastically. With digitalization, opportunities to touch nature are decreasing. Without the experience of feeling the value of nature, it becomes difficult to foster awareness of protecting the environment in the future. Meanwhile, Japanese forests face the issue of neglected woodlands, affecting our lives through landslides and climate change.
Against this background, under the philosophy of 'Play in the forest, utilize the forest,' Forest Adventure has revitalized neglected forests into lively places where people gather and value is created. Celebrating our 20th anniversary, we now set forth a new vision for the next stage.
## 'Making Forests an Educational Infrastructure'
Turning forests into a place where people can 'learn and grow while playing.' We will open up the field of forests to society as a place for experiential learning that cannot be obtained in classrooms for school education, and as a place for human resource development and team building for companies, using Forest Adventure as the entrance.
While utilizing our 20-year track record of operating tree-top activity-based experiential programs, we will further evolve and expand our 'experiential programs that nurture people and forests' through our nationwide facility network.
