We will install the birdhouse made at the production meeting. Nesting of birds such as great tit is expected.

3 Purpose of Birdhouse production and installation

This initiative started in the Tokachi area in 2005 as part of a social contribution activity that provides elementary school students along the Expressway with an opportunity to enjoy and interact with nature. This year marks its 15th year. So far, more than 2,600 birdhouses have been produced.
Even after the birdhouse is set up, elementary school students will be interested in whether their birdhouse is used for wild birds, etc., and it will be an opportunity for the family to visit SA / PA and to experience nature again with the family, when traveling, etc. I hope that you will get familiar with the Expressway.
