NAC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroshi Yoshimura) announced that its home-delivered water service 'Kurukuru' (Kurukuru Business Company Representative: Shuji Otsuki) conducted a tree-planting event on June 6, 2026, at the 'Shonan International Village Forest' in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, planting 365 trees. Kurukuru supports the activities of the Certified NPO Environmental Relations Institute, which works on forest regeneration and regional development nationwide. Since 2021, Kurukuru has participated in the 'Present Tree Project' and has been carrying out tree-planting activities under the 'Kurukuru's Forest Project,' continuing its efforts to protect water sources for a sustainable society. Scenes from the Day Following 2025, tree planting was carried out in 2026 at the 'Shonan International Village Forest,' where early forest regeneration is expected. This site employs the 'mixed and dense planting method,' which is expected to restore vegetation close to that of primeval forests. By planting several types of saplings densely, creating a competitive environment among plants, early forest formation is anticipated. It is said that forests can be formed in just 20 to 30 years, a tenth of the usual 200 to 300 years. Approximately 80 people, including employees from our company, participated on the day. They planted trees with heartfelt wishes for forest regeneration.

Forests play a vital role in 'creating clean water, protecting beautiful environments and living creatures, and safeguarding people's lives from sediment disasters.' We believe that protecting forests that enrich water sources is a crucial mission for Kurukuru, which delivers water to people's homes. Since 2021, Kurukuru has supported the forest regeneration project 'Present Tree,' operated by the Certified NPO Environmental Relations Institute, and launched 'Kurukuru's Forest Creation,' planting 365 trees a year, one per day. 2021-2023: Tree planting conducted in Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture 2024: Tree planting conducted in Yamato Town, Kumamoto Prefecture 2025: Tree planting conducted in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture Kurukuru's Forest | Water Server Kurukuru [Official] ■ What is 'Present Tree'? This project, launched in January 2005 by the Certified NPO Environmental Relations Institute, operates under the slogan 'Let's plant a tree as a gift!' It involves planting trees for loved ones or oneself, connecting to forest regeneration and regional development. Some forests, like Satoyama (woodlands), are maintained through human intervention. Saplings planted in the Present Tree forests are cared for by local collaborators for at least 10 years. By entrusting forest management to local communities, a foundation is built for these areas to be managed properly by the local community as 'regional forests' even after the collaboration period ends.
