Clean Up Kensington
Sunday, April 30th, 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Join your neighbors to Clean Up Kensington at the springtime volunteer litter clean-up on Sunday, April 30th, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. You're welcome to stay for as long or as short a time as you like.
Meet up with the other volunteers on the
southeast corner of Beverley Road and E. 9th Street and end up at the newly-reopened Lea.
The route begins at Beverley and E. 9th, goes
north on E. 9th to Cortelyou Road, turns left onto Cortelyou, goes to Stratford
Road, and ends at Lea, located at 1022 Cortelyou.
The organizers will provide gloves, trash bags, trash pickers, brooms, and
dustpans. But you can bring your own reusable gloves and picker, if you have
them.
Jenny, Clean Up Kensington's founder, 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."
