Donate money and time: sponsor a Back To Nature program

Back to Nature programs are monthly programs sponsored by companies. Volunteers from the sponsor company are encouraged to join the program to engage with the children and be their role models. These programs are held on weekends with a variety of fun and challenging outdoor activities, such as hiking, rafting, and forestry experience.

Morgan Stanley is an Annual Donor and regular program sponsor, having joined multiple Back to Nature programs in Takao and Mitake since 2018.
