南信州の小さな村で。
昨日から中学生、高校生、大学生に森づくりと蒸留のWSをしています。
1日目は私の大好きな暖かな雨の降る森で森林組合さんのご協力の下、集材させて頂き蒸留準備。
皆さん手を動かしながらお喋りを楽しむ。
この村には高校がなく、皆中学を出ると一旦村を離れます。
そのため中学生が高校生や大学生と触れる機会が極端に低い中で手仕事をしながら森や田舎暮らしに興味がある大学生達と横並びで作業する貴重な機械となった様子。
収穫仕立ての森の香りに包まれながら。

In a small village in Minami-Shinshu.
Since yesterday, I’ve been hosting a forest management and distillation workshop for junior high, high school, and university students.
On the first day, in my favorite kind of forest—filled with warm rain—we gathered materials with the help of the local forestry association and prepared for the distillation.
Everyone enjoyed chatting while keeping their hands busy.
There is no high school in this village, so most children leave once they graduate from junior high. Because of this, local students rarely get the chance to interact with older youth.
Working side-by-side with university students who are passionate about the forest and rural living seemed to be a truly precious experience for them.
All while being wrapped in the scent of the freshly harvested forest.
