In October 2018, employees and their families from TG East Japan, a Toyoda Gosei Group company, cut overgrown reeds in Lakes Izunuma and Uchinuma in northern Miyagi Prefecture to protect the ecosystem. More than thirty species of waterfowl inhabit these lakes, which are also a stopover for migratory birds including swans, white-fronted geese, and mallard ducks.
