The Apoi Dream Project aims to cultivate the rare alpine plants of Mt. Apoi. This project is part of the Samani Junior High School's Geopark curriculum, with the help of the Mt. Apoi Fan Club.

We started the process back in December by wrapping Kikyo and Ezokozorina seeds in damp paper towels and leaving them in a refrigerator for the seeds to germinate. On January 19^th, the students transplanted the seeds into seed pots.


The seed pots will be placed in two rooms at the Junior High School that are kept at two different temperatures as part of the cultivation experiment. Over the winter, the students will continue to care for the seedlings. Once the seedlings have grown, they will be transplanted on Mt. Apoi at a regeneration test site near the 5^th Station in June of this year.
