Oswego's Fox River Cleanup

Spend a morning along the water and help improve our community. Oswego's cleanup will take place along the Fox River, starting at Violet Patch Park, downstream to Hudson Crossing Park, including the confluence of Waubonsie Creek and the Fox River. Volunteers on land will clean the shoreline of public property along the river, including the bike trail and parks.  Volunteers on the water will clean the shoreline between these parks.  Canoeists and kayakers will clean-up on the water, using their own canoes and kayaks. 

Gloves and trash bags will be provided. All ages and abilities welcome. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Canoeists welcome.

Please register before the event: Oswego's River Cleanup - August 6, 2022 (google.com)

For more information, visit The Conservation Foundation's website. If you have any questions, please email Cassie Hatzfeld, The Conservation Foundation's Volunteer Coordinator at chatzfeld@theconservationfoundation.org.

This event is presented by The Conservation Foundation in partnership with the Village of Oswego and Oswegoland Park District.

Please note: Safety of the clean-up volunteers is paramount. If the Fox River is too high (above 1000 cubic feet per second as measured on the gauge at the Montgomery Dam), the clean-up will be postponed to another date.  The rain date is scheduled for Sunday, August 7, 2022.
