    Environment JR EAST GROUP CSR REPORT 2017 Environmental Conservation Activities along Railway Lines Biodiversity ■HometownForestationProgram In 2004, in order to protect biodiversity and contribute to a sustainable society, while cherishing our sense of gratitude for nature, we began the Hometown Forestation Programs to plant trees native to each region and revitalize the forests. We undertook these programs with the cooperation of Fukushima Prefecture from 2004 to 2009 and with the cooperation of Niigata Prefecture, the town of Tsunanmachi and Tokamachi and Ojiya Cities in the prefecture from 2010 to 2014. In FY2017, we began forestation activities in Naruko Hometown in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture. Naruko Hometown Forestation Program in September 2016 ■Forestdevelopmentalongrailwaylines☆ Beginning in 1992, we have been organizing tree planting activities along JR East railway lines. By FY2017 a total of approximately 50 thousand people had participated in planting about 343 thousand trees. Today, planting has gone beyond the trackside and is done in cooperation with local communities. ■Developmentofrailwaytrees Along some JR East railway lines, we have planted railway trees to shield the tracks from blowing snow and wind. The first railway trees were created in 1893 for disaster prevention. As living disaster prevention facilities, railway forests are playing their role. JR East now owns approximately 5.8 million railway trees on a total of about 3,900 hectares along our lines at approximately 1,080 locations. The trees absorb 15 thousand tons of CO₂, equivalent to 0.7% of the CO₂ that JR East emits (this is the actual amount in FY2017). In this way, they also contribute to preserving the environment.
