Join Friends of the Chicago River For an On The Table discussion. We will have coffee and mid-morning snacks. If you love the Chicago River and want to share your ideas, please join this On The Table. After the conversation, we will let participants get a sneak peak of the museum before its opening day May 14.

This annual metro-wide volunteer day spans the river’s 156-mile system. Volunteers will work along the river banks and help to remove tons of litter and sort out recyclables, but can also support construction of river trails, remove invasive vegetation, and plant native plants. With over 60 locations to choose from, we are excited to see you out along the river this spring for Chicago River Day! Learn more about Chicago River Day

This is a kick off event for Forest Glen, one of the four new Centennial Volunteer sites.  Come join us for a workday and learn more about how to get involved at this site throughout the year. Contact Josh at josh@fotfp.org
