Cleanup, April 2010

Our volunteer cleanup day for April 2010 took place on Saturday the 24th in Bukhansan National Park. The team followed the trail circuit starting at the south Wonhyobong trailhead.

A total of 100 litres of trash and recyclables was located, removed, and properly disposed of. Of particular interest was a large cache of buried trash. The cache was discovered by KMPL campaign director, Kyle Tapper, downslope from the main route. Packaging dates on cans indicate that the trash has been leeching into the soil since circa 1990.

It was a heavy load to carry off the mountain and the team enjoyed a few well deserved beers afterward.

We look forward to next month’s infield day.

Old pull tab cans found in the trash cache.

Note the packaging date: 90-05-31
