The Chuncheon Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group conducted its “Let Nature Be Green” volunteer activity on the 16th in Hakgok-ri, Dongnae-myeon, Chuncheon-si, focusing on environmental cleanup and roadside reflector maintenance.

Approximately 50 volunteers, divided into three groups, cleaned major roadsides and alleyways, collecting around 300 litres of household waste, including cigarette butts, discarded banners, and plastic bottles. They also removed dust and contaminants from roadside reflectors to improve visibility and help create safer roads for residents.

The initiative is part of the organisation’s “Let Nature Be Green” programme, which promotes environmental protection through activities such as wetland conservation, disaster recovery, community cleanups, and the creation of flower paths.

Sang-yoon Park, a 47-year-old volunteer from Hupyeong-dong, Chuncheon, said, “I felt a sense of fulfilment because the elderly people I met during the activity expressed gratitude and shared warm conversations with me.” She added that seeing the clean surroundings made her proud and that it was meaningful to see how a small act could bring great joy.

Jeong-hee Gong, vice branch manager of the Chuncheon Branch, said, “We will continue to work towards creating a safe and comfortable living environment for residents through various volunteer activities that benefit the local community.”
