About 50 big trees of a wonderful poplar let leaves grow thick in deep-blue on both sides of the sand way and range when I go a campus, the way of the old department of science (a museum) side of Hokkaido University to the west.

What was planted for training in (1903), the farm of the forerunner former Sapporo agricultural school of the university in 1903 is said to this avenue lined with poplar trees known for picture postcards well with an opening. These the trees which are about 100 years years old tower over the earth in a manly way, and the pastoral scenery gathers a large number of tourists from national each place.

By typhoon 18 of September, 2004, a poplar nearly the half collapsed, but the rebuilding of the fallen tree, tree planting of Wakaki were performed. Wood tip is spread on the avenue which was "entrance prohibition", and about 80 meters walks are possible now.

=====JAPANESE=====

北海道大学のキャンパス内、旧理学部（現在博物館）横の道を西へ行くと、砂道の両側に約50本の見事なポプラの大木が青々と葉を茂らせて連なっています。

　絵葉書などで良く知られるこのポプラ並木は、明治36年(1903)、大学の前身旧札幌農学校の農場内に実習用に植えられたのが始まりといわれます。樹齢約100年にもなるこの木々は大地に雄々しくそそり立ち、その牧歌的な風景が全国各地から大勢の観光客を集めています。

　平成16年9月の台風18号により、半数近くのポプラが倒壊しましたが、倒木の立て直し、若木の植樹が行われました。現在は「立入禁止」であった並木道もウッドチップが敷かれ約80メートル散策が可能です。

November 7 by hogehopo (80 found) It visited by the recreational travel of the office. It is the fourth cash hunting bounce of the Sapporo city in the rental bicycle because there was free time during a day. To our regret, cash seems to do LOST. --- Japanese --- ???????????????1???????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????LOST????????? [view this log]

August 28 by jcsjcs2 (206 found) We looked for at least half an hour but couldn't find it. Maybe there is more vegetation now than there was in May, maybe the cache is gone, or maybe we are blind... [view this log]

May 16 by FBBHaegar (1174 found) FTF Wow, I was the first finder after more than a year. And it wasn't that difficult. The coordinates were pretty exact and we could see the cache from the path. We must wait a moment, because there was a few muggels around and than - uups - there it was. After the performing of a little jig I was able to sign the brand new logbook. Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany. TFTC FBBHaegar #364 - 10:40 [view this log]
