Volunteers sought for Fox River cleanup

Geneva’s Natural Resources Committee is inviting volunteers to help remove debris from the Fox River and Island Park.

The “Fox River Clean Up Day” will run from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 21, at two sites.

Volunteers who want to get muddy in the Fox River should meet at the Fabyan Forest Preserve parking lot, which is accessible from Route 25 just south of the Fabyan windmill. For those who would rather stay dry on land, the second group will meet at Island Park, 2 E. State St., on the spillway near the playground.

Volunteers are asked to wear old clothes, gloves and boots. Garbage bags, water, snacks, washing stations and canoes will be provided, according to organizers.
