August 22nd: "What kind of leaves do animals eat? Let's make moss balls with plants grown in the park!" Participants wanted! (Application deadline: August 14th)

Added on August 11th

We are expanding the target grade levels. The program will now cover students from the first grade of elementary school through the third year of high school.

A variety of plants grow within the park. Some of these plants are given to the animals as treats. In this project, we will make moss balls using seedlings of plants that the animals eat.

You will choose one seedling you like from the plants we have prepared, and a staff member who manages the plantings at Ueno Zoo will explain how to make it. Using colorful thread, you will wrap soil and sphagnum moss around the roots of the seedling to make a moss ball.

You might make some interesting discoveries if you observe the shape and appearance of the leaves while growing seedlings at home!

Why not use it as interior decor to create summer vacation memories and help you stay cool this summer?
