Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pilho) announced on May 30 that it held a staff workshop at "Dobong Forest Village" and conducted a "plogging" activity as part of its social contribution efforts around the Dobongsan Dulle-gil trail. Plogging is a newly coined term that combines the Swedish word "plocka upp," meaning "to pick up," with jogging.

Through the "Forest of Hope" campaign, Hope Bridge has been consistently engaged in forest restoration activities such as supporting recovery efforts in areas affected by wildfires and planting trees. This plogging event was also organized to encourage employees to practice environmental protection and disaster prevention in their daily lives.

Employees collected various types of trash, including discarded plastic, cans, and cigarette butts, along the Dobongsan Dulle-gil trail, contributing to the cleanup of the forest environment.

Jung Gaeun, a manager in the Fundraising Team who participated in the plogging, said, "It was meaningful to directly take part in activities for the forest," and added, "While walking, I picked up a lot of cigarette butts. I hope more people realize that small acts of carelessness, like this, can lead to major disasters such as wildfires."

Shin Hoon, Secretary General, stated, "Hope Bridge is not only an organization that responds to disasters, but also one that must consider preventive activities to reduce disasters," and continued, "I hope that this plogging event, made possible by the participation of our employees, will mark another beginning in expanding the 'Forest of Hope.'"
