Many thanks to the many volunteers and scouts on land and water who came together to pick up trash along the Salt Creek and adjacent roadways of the Cook County Forest Preserve between the 294 tollway and the Brookfield Zoo on April 27th. You once again set the example for how to make a difference in keeping our local nature greener and cleaner. A special thank you to GZA GeoEnvironmental for feeding the hungry volunteers with a great bbq lunch after. We needed it after a busy and productive morning cleaning up!

The Salt Creek Watershed Network is a nonprofit group consisting of neighbors who support causes that are aimed at improving the local environment and waterways. We organize cleanups every year during late April and support local groups that are interested in doing the same.
