Timber is a treasure produced by nature. Timber derived from our company-owned “Materials Forest” is carefully used to contribute to resource circulation and local communities in the form of building materials, biomass fuels, and other products. This time, our timber turned into the school building for Hayakita Gakuen, which opened in April 2023.

Hayakita Gakuen is an integrated elementary and junior high school in Abira Town. More than 50% of the timber used for the school building is from one of our Materials Forests nearby. The school filled with “wood warmth” provides a place where students want to gather. The Materials Forest also provides a great place for local exchange, where children in the town can enjoy planting trees and taking forest walks.

Use local trees for the future of the local community. With this in mind, we have nur- tured our forests and committed ourselves to environment conservation and maxi- mizing the value of the timber, thereby realizing a sustainable timber supply. This is because we believe in the unlimited potential of forests.
