Friends of the Fox River | Preserve • Restore • Protect

IOFRD Host Signup

Are there cleanups on September 19th? Yes, but your It’s Our Fox River Day event is your celebration of our beloved river. As a host, all we ask is that you raise visibility to care for it, in your style. Yoga, art, music, restoration, dogs, flowers, and longboard paddling are among some of our current and past events.

WHAT WE DO:

Watershed Protection

The Fox River can’t defend itself. When its health is threatened, Friends of the Fox River speaks and acts on the river’s behalf. The river can’t clean itself either. Participate in shoreline and on-the-water river cleanups from April to October.
