On 19th December 2025, volunteers from the Shincheonji Volunteer Group in Seoul carried out a street-cleaning effort in a 250m section along Danghyeoncheon Stream in Nowon district, Seoul, as part of the 'Green Nature' campaign, improving safety and walkability for local residents.
On that day, 30 volunteers used brooms and scrapers to collect about 1 tonne of waste, including fallen leaves soaked in snow and rain and other litter that had accumulated along sidewalks and roadways following recent strong winds, making the area surrounding the Danghyeoncheon Stream look noticeably cleaner.
Fallen ginkgo nuts, in particular, create a foul odour, and fallen leaves increase the risk of slipping. Therefore, this environmental cleanup was more than beautification - it helps prevent slips, falls, and other winter accidents.
One volunteer who participated in the service said, “I was able to feel a sense of belonging because I was moving together for the local community.”
An official from the Eastern Seoul Branch said, “We conducted this cleanup activity to reduce inconveniences in residents’ daily lives and create a safe pedestrian environment.”
Meanwhile, this activity was carried out under Shincheonji Volunteer Group's nationwide 'Green Nature' campaign, which is purposed to preserve a beautiful nature for posterity through wetland conservation activities, environmental cleanups for the protection of major facilities and cultural assets, disaster recovery activities, public awareness environmental campaigns, and the creation of flower paths in waste dumping areas.
