Litter left behind by hikers and other human activities harms wildlife and pollutes our natural environment. To help address this issue, volunteers participated in a 3-hour hike along Devil's Peak Battery, where they learned about responsible nature stewardship and environmental protection. During the hike, volunteers actively collected bags of litter, including food waste, cans, tissues, cigarette butts, plastic bottles, and food packaging, in an effort to restore the pristine beauty of the area.
