Volunteers contributing to environmental protection

Hiking has become a popular activity recently but consequently a huge amount of rubbish is left along hiking trails and in country parks. This disturbs the wildlife and spoils our enjoyment of the natural world. Volunteers learnt how to become responsible nature lovers and protect our natural environment during the 3.5-hour hike along the Lung Ha Wan Country Trail. They collected 8 bags of rubbish ranging from cans, tissues, food packages, cigarette butts, and plastic bottles to food waste.
