Photo & Video Gallery

These photos document only a small portion of the KMPL's efforts in the past four years. We've decided to include photos of not only trash, trail erosion, and the KMPL Council, members, and volunteers at work, but also photos of the rugged and often stunning beauty of Korean highlands.

Both of these videos were taken on June 14, 2009 during an infield day whose specific purpose was to clean up two buried trash piles discovered previously. Both trash piles are believed to have belonged to the same party due to their proximities with each other and since packaging dates on trash from both piles are identical. One photo above (3rd row down, 2nd photo) documents the discovery of the pile on May 23, 2009. Collectively, both piles yielded 80 litres of trash and recyclables.
