Friends’ 23rd annual Chicago River Day is Saturday, May 9th 2015.  From litter pickup to restoration to habitat creation, Chicago River Day is about helping the river in more ways than one! 

Come out and hunt for macroinvertebrates, bugs that live in the river. We have all the equipment you’ll need, from boots to nets. We’ll have fun as we learn how to assess the water’s quality. $10
