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."
