Shincheonji Volunteer Group Gangseo Branch Cleans Up Fallen Leaves and Gingko Trees Around Banghwa Intersection
 |
| On November 22nd, volunteers from the Gangseo branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group collected fallen leaves and ginkgo nuts near the Banghwa intersection in Gangseo. |
“Recently, the wind has been blowing hard, and ginkgo nuts and fallen leaves fell all at once, making it slippery and almost making me fall, but it has become easier to walk now that the volunteers have cleaned up the streets.”
On 22nd November 2025, volunteers from the Shincheonji Volunteer Group in Gangseo carried out a street-cleaning effort near Banghwa Intersection in Gangseo, improving safety and walkability for local residents. Seong-ho Choi (57), a resident living nearby, expressed his gratitude above.
On that day, 96 volunteers used brooms and scrapers to collect fallen leaves and ginkgo nuts that had accumulated along sidewalks and roadways following recent strong winds and had caused significant inconvenience to residents, making the area surrounding Banghwa Intersection 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.
Meanwhile, this activity was carried out under Shincheonji Volunteer Group's nationwide 'Green Nature' programme, 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.
