Kingsland is proposing a DIY (Do-It-Your); please consider adding to your walk (perhaps one day a week) by taking a garbage bag with you and picking up whatever litter you see. Over the summer you will make a huge difference. Please check the website for more information.
The Self-Isolation 2020 Art Project 1 had a great response. Thank you for participating. Project 2 will be Rocking Kingsland.
