NEXCO EAST Joetsu Management Office (Joetsu City) will be working with students from Takada Prefectural Agricultural High School to build a flower bed on the E8 Hokuriku Expressway Nadachi Tanihama Service Area (SA) Out-bound on October 19th (Thursday).
This initiative, now in its 17th year, is part of the ``Flower and Green Peace Highway Garden Project,'' which aims to collaborate with the local community and create a space where customers can use SA more easily and feel refreshed by maintaining trees and flowers. This will be carried out as follows.
On the day, students from Takada Prefectural Agricultural High School, about 20 related people, and about 20 employees from our company participated, and they worked together to plant about 430 leaf peonies seedlings grown by the students in a flower bed in a layout designed by the students. I'm going to plant it in.

“Peace of Flowers and Greenery Highway Garden Project” What is
In addition to converting rest facilities and gardens into comfortable spaces that are easy to use, we will also create a ``Highway Garden'' that aims to create a sense of locality and collaborate with the local community, providing customers with an even more relaxing and healing space. This is a project that we are promoting.
At NEXCO EAST Niigata Regional Head Office, we aim to collaborate with the local community, and plan plans for Hokuriku Expressway Nadachi Tanihama SA (Out-bound line), Yoneyama SA (In-bound, Out-bound line), Kurosaki PA (Out-bound line), and Kan-Etsu Expressway Kawaguchi SA (Out-bound line). This project is being implemented in five locations.

The NEXCO EAST Group has positioned the period from 2021 to 2025 as "a period that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs and transforms into a new future society," and is making various efforts.

We believe that it will contribute to the goals of 4, 11, 15, and 17.
