Friends of the Chicago River – A Greener, More Accessible, and Better Cared For River
JOIN US FOR THE RIVER!
Our On-the-Ground projects provide healthy habitat, restore the river’s health and cultivate community spirit for the Chicago and Calumet River System.
Examples of our work include:
Fish Hotel: Piloting urban river restoration demonstration projects
Wildlife Habitat: Working on a variety of projects to benefit at-risk species
Chicago River Eco-Warriors and River Volunteer Stewardship Project: Working with community groups to establish quality habitat and healthy riverbanks
Centennial Volunteers: Get your hands dirty and have an real impact by joining this group of regular volunteers to help restore the forest preserves adjacent to the Chicago River and the Little Calumet.
Overflow Action Days: Minimize the amount of water that goes into the sewer system.
We also focus on research and policy initiatives, informing elected officials, and partnering with key agencies to help shape policies and ensure river sensitive development.
