Pick up your FREE copy of the new Citizen's Guide to Preserving the Fox River produced by The Conservation Foundation and the Fox River Ecosystem Partnership.

The beautiful Fox River meanders through our daily lives with a quiet grace that improves our communities.  This newly published coffee table-style guide profiles the Fox River as a special place in our region that needs our help and protection, offers ideas for people to help the river and places to go to gain a better appreciation.  The Guide contains:

• Maps with lots of pictures so people get a better understanding of the Fox River and how we are all connected to it.
• Brief history (flora and fauna) of the Fox River, and how the River has changed over time.
• Special places within the watershed where people can go on short trips and experience nature and the Fox River (unique forest preserves, parks, nature preserves, sections of the river to canoe, etc.)
• Real ideas on what people can do such as build rain gardens, install rain barrels, rainwater harvesting, river/creek cleanups, native landscaping, etc.

We have printed 25,000 guides and distributed them at village halls, libraries and local businesses in towns all along the Fox River.  Click here for a list of where you can pick up your FREE guide.

In addition to the Guide, a special website has also been developed to help people learn what others are doing in their communities to help preserve and protect the beautiful Fox, and what we ALL can do to help. Visit www.preservethefox.org to learn more and see where you can pick up your FREE copy.
