Gifu University conducted "Clean Campus Campaign in Autumn 2019" on November 20, 2019. Approximately 650 university staffs and students took part in the campaign and engaged in cleanup activities for about an hour across campus. Members of the Gifu Prefectural Research Institute for Food Science, and Gifu Pharmaceutical University (both buildings are located within campus) also joined the campaign. Students studying the course, "Modern Society and Volunteer" and other students volunteered to eradicate Myriophyllum aquaticum (invasive alien species in Japan) propagating themselves along the streams flowing through the campus.

With the remarks of Mr. Koji Aoki, Director of the Facility & Environmental Affairs Department, "Gifu University declared itself as "Environmental University" in November 2009. Please join hands to protect the environment in and around the campus," and under a slogan, "Garbage Zero around Campus," university staffs, members of "three trees" and "G-amet"(both are students circles), and the "Student Committee" of Gifu University Co-op started their cleanup along the roads and the fields near the university.

The volume of litter collected this time was less than the levels of previous years, which indicates that the university staffs and students are becoming more aware of the importance of environmental conservation.
