The City of Geneva’s Natural Resources Committee is looking for some helping hands to spruce up the Fox River and Island Park.
The Fox River Clean Up Day will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 21 at two locations due to the ongoing Union Pacific Third Main Line construction project.
Volunteers who want to get muddy and wet in the Fox River should meet at the Fabyan Forest Preserve parking lot accessible from Route 25 just south of the Fabyan windmill. For those preferring to stay dry on land, the second group will meet at Island Park, 2 E. State St., on the spillway near the playground. The committee has provided maps detailing work locations and nearby parking options.
Volunteers are asked to wear old clothes, gloves and boots to help remove debris from the park and river. Garbage bags, water, snacks, washing stations, and canoes will be provided.
For more information and to RSVP, contact Natural Resources Committee member Kelvin Limbrick via email.
