We have advanced various activities since 2010 in the Hakusan Tedorigawa geopark. Hakusan Tedorigawa Geopark was certified as a Japanese geopark in 2011. We carried out various activities, such as the activities to promote the geopark, educational activities, training for guides, environmental maintenance for geopark and so on, after the cetrification.In 2013, we had the domestic examination for application to the Global Geopark Network, but the result was not reached. Although we received some good evaluation about the activities of the geopark by this examination, and we were able to share it among various people who pushed forward the activities for the geopark. Furthermore, the work that should be solved became more clear and also became the index in pushing forward the future activities. We will promote various activities for solving these works in the Hakusan Tedorigawa Geopark.
