The items delivered that day were about 3,000 pieces directly selected by more than 30 members of the Kangwon Land volunteer group from 3,386 lost and found items acquired within the resort from October last year to March this year that were recyclable.
Kangwon Land plans to participate in a planting project for environmental protection by designating part of the proceeds from sales by Areumdawoon Gage to Taebaeksan National Park.
Although Kangwon Land used to dispose of all customer lost items if they were not claimed after the retention period, it has been donating them to Areumdawoon Gage since last year for the purpose of environmental protection and public interest.
