年2回の限界集落？の道作り　Biannual community cleaning in a marginal village

昨日、私の地域では生活の道や溝などの草刈、清掃を行いました。
この地域では私が30数年前に尾道にＵターンした時の戸数は現在では半減していますので道作り活動への参加作業人数も半減しています。
反面、イノシシなどの獣害が大幅に増えています。
Yesterday we mowed grasses along the roads and cleaned the ditches for everyday use in our local community. 
The number of the houses in this community has been decreased to half of what it was about 30 years ago when I U-turned. Then the participating number of people to the cleaning activity is also the half of what it used to be. 
Adversely the bird and animal damages have been increased a lot.
