We have implemented Environmental Management Seminars for managers since fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2012, C.W. Nicol Afan Woodland Trust Chairman C.W. Nicol was invited to lead a seminar on the theme of “Corporate CSR Activities” that was attended by 51 managers, including 12 directors and 19 organizational unit managers.
While comparing the situations of forests in the United Kingdom and forests in Japan, Mr. Nicol discussed his ideas on such envi- ronmental protection-related topics as the richness of Japan’s nat- ural environment and the beneficial tranquility-inspiring effects of forests on human hearts and minds.
In addition, Mr. Nicol made an oral presentation, including short video clips designed to offer suggestions regarding CSR programs that make use of forests, giving the example of his organization’s
“Forest of the Heart” program, which enables children facing psy- chological and physical challenges to benefit from spending time in forest environments.
