DuPage River Sweep

Volunteers are needed for this event, at which participants will help "sweep" the east and west branches of the DuPage River and Salt Creek by picking up trash on shore on in the water.

Items such as garbage bags, work gloves, trash pokers and more will be provided.

Those who plan to work in the water should bring their own canoe or kayak.

Volunteers will also be able to restore natural areas by removing invasive species.

Those interested in participating should visit the Web site for a complete list of cleanup and restoration sites, and for instructions on how to register for the event.
