EVENT DETAILS
The Friends of the Chicago River invite you to our annual cleanup and land restoration event at Big Marsh Park. Chicago River Day is a fun way to get some outdoor exercise volunteering along the watershed. The health of the Chicago River system continues to improve, but litter remains a stubborn problem harmful to people and wildlife. Friends of the Chicago River is looking for your help on our annual spring river cleanup, Chicago River Day, the morning of May 8, 2021. Volunteers began this free, fun, family-friendly tradition in 1992 and over the last 29 years it steadily grew into Friends’ largest and most popular volunteer event of the year with sites throughout the watershed from Lake County to the Calumet. The instant impact is inspiring and essential to creating a Litter Free Chicago River.
