The Educational Facilities for Nature Study was established for practical educational and research activities in a natural environment and their advancement. It is located at 1419 Tsukahara-cho, Kofu and has an area of 12,691 square meters. As for the educational purpose, it serves as a research site for cultivation studies, and also provides the children and students in our attached academic institutions with direct experience of communing with Nature. The facilities are also open to the general public, and we hold an extension program "Flower and Vegetable Growing," supporting lifelong learning in the local community. Our research activities include the study and experiments in preserving Picea torano, commonly known as Tiger Tail Spruce, which is indigenous to Mt. Fuji and designated as a protected species and as a national natural treasure as well. In the near future the foot of Mt. Fuji will be seen mantled in luxuriant green of Tiger Tail Spruce that we are growing in the nursery of our facilities.
