ZeroPlastic Volunteers Conduct Environmental Cleanup and Nature Trek at Seven Falls Digana

The ZeroPlastic Movement conducted its Nature Trek project on 3 October 2026 at Seven Falls, Digana. Held from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m., the project combined an environmental cleanup campaign with a nature hike, bringing together 45 volunteers for a morning of hands-on conservation work.

The project was organized to promote environmental awareness, reduce plastic pollution, and encourage responsible waste management. It also sought to foster an appreciation for the natural surroundings at Seven Falls and highlight the importance of protecting local ecosystems.

Activities during the project included a nature hike through the area, an environmental cleanup campaign, and the removal of unwanted plants along selected sections of the site. Volunteers collected plastic, polythene, and other waste materials from the surroundings. The collected waste was gathered and separated on site to support responsible disposal and waste management practices.

A total of 45 volunteers took part in the initiative, actively engaging in the cleanup and plant removal work. Their participation contributed to leaving the area around Seven Falls in a noticeably cleaner condition. The combination of the nature hike with practical environmental action gave volunteers a direct connection to the landscape they were working to protect.

The project served as a practical demonstration of how outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship can be brought together. By carrying out cleanup work in a natural setting, volunteers gained firsthand experience of the extent of plastic and waste accumulation in rural and forested areas, reinforcing the case for reducing plastic use and managing waste more carefully.

The Forest Department in Digana provided guidance and support for the project, contributing to the effective planning and implementation of the day’s activities.
