WBC-VIII-Vol.4 – Resources – Forestry, Plantations and ... - BambuSC

In the area around the Kitakyushu Science and Research Park there are four forests which are maintained as is
shown in table 2 and figure 5 and 6 (figure 5 and figure 6).
Forest 1; the Yatsurugi Shrine, a small shrine surrounded by a small forest, in this forest nearly all the bamboo
has been cut away because in a shrine forest there was originally no bamboo.
Forest 2; the Hibikino South Park, a 4 ha large park, in the middle is a pond and around the pond is a forest and
bamboo forests.
Forest 3; the Honji Conservation Area
Forest 4; the Hibikino North Park
