The City of Geneva's Natural Resources Committee (NRC) is looking for some helping hands as part of the group's seventh annual Fox River Clean-Up Day in late September.
The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday, Sept. 30. Volunteers can meet the committee at the south end of Island Park, 2 Route 25.
The NRC will provide garbage bags, water, snacks and boats to help haul away trash. Volunteers are encouraged to wear old clothes and sturdy boots/shoes for wading through the Fox River. They should also should bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and hair ties as well as a second clean outfit and shoes to change into afterwards. Restrooms are available on-site.
The effort not only beautifies the Fox River, but participants also will enjoy the day outside with other river enthusiasts. The rain date for the Fox River Clean Up-Day will be 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 7.
For questions or to RSVP participation, visit the Natural Resources Committee's Facebook page or call NRC member Kevin Limbrick at 630-360-4070.
