Chicago River Summit
March 7, 2018 ~
12 noon - 4:30 p.m.
Miller Coors Headquarters - 250 S. Wacker Drive
Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, advocates, public agencies, businesses, and community leaders, more attention is being paid to our river. And it shows! Water quality is improving, over 70 different kinds of fish now call the river home, and there is a booming recreational following.
Yet garbage is still frequently found in our river.
How can we get rid of this unwanted junk which harms wildlife and diminishes the river's value? Who is responsible and how can we prevent garbage from entering our stream in the first place? To answer these questions and discuss what people are doing to create litter-free waterways, Friends is bringing together policy advocates, stakeholders and concerned citizens for the
2018 Chicago River Summit.
Are you available to help out that day? We need 4-5 volunteers to help with set-up, registration and so on. Please contact Andy Donakowski, (he's really cool, you'll like working with him) policy and planning specialist, at (312) 939-0490, ext. 15 or
