KENSINGTON COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP

 
Community Clean-Up
Sunday, April 2nd, 10:00 a.m. to noon 

Join Clean Up Kensington next Sunday, April 2nd, from 10:00 a.m. until about noon for a quick and easy volunteer street clean-up. Stay for as long or as short a time as you like.

This clean-up will start at the northeast corner of Avenue C and E. 9th Street. Meet up afterward at Der Pioneer.

Gloves, trash bags, and a limited number of trash pickers, brooms, and dustpans will be provided, but you're welcome to bring your own reusable gloves and picker, if you have them.

Jenny, the founder of Clean Up Kensington  (https://www.instagram.com/cleanupkensington/?hl=en) writes
"Clean Up Kensington is a volunteer-driven community group that meets to clear litter and care for street trees in Kensington. 

I had been going out once or twice a week and picking up litter around our block while listening to podcasts for about a year, and I kept running into friendly neighbors who wanted to help out, too, or asked if I was part of a group they could join. I was also feeling inspired after joining the New York Parks Stewardship program and taking a class on street tree care. 
I welcome the partnership and expertise of anyone who's already been doing work in this space."
