On November 17th, 2019, ILEC and Kinki Rokin Bank, with support of Biwako Houjounosato organized “Metagawa River Nature School” around Metagawa River, one of rivers flowing into Lake Biwa. This program provided an opportunity for local people to increase their awareness for environmental protection through nature experience and cleanup.

Blessed with fine weather, under a clear blue autumn sky, approximately 20 participants, such as families and friends learned about Lake Biwa and waste problem, and understood the importance of environmental conservation by experiencing games and cleanup activity. These environmental conservation activities in Lake Biwa Basin improve the water body and ecosystem of Lake Biwa!
