Volunteers should bring sturdy gloves, a face mask, closed toed shoes or boots. Canoes and Kayaks are also welcome. The Conservation Foundation will provide trash bags, grabber and poker tools.

Precautions will be taken to ensure social distancing and masks will be required.

This 2nd annual river-length cleanup is a great opportunity for civic engagement and will raise public awareness of the trash that accumulates in our waterways. Learn more about “It’s Our Fox River Day” cleanups and community celebrations at https://friendsofthefoxriver.org/fox-river-day/
