The sponsors and partners will provide lunch at 12pm at the Piasa Harbor Pavilion, and also host an education after-party where participants can learn about watersheds and water quality through a hands-on demonstration from the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center.
Those interested in joining the clean up effort can prepare themselves by wearing layers, gloves, and shoes, since getting muddy is a possibility. Please RSVP to Christine Favilla with the number of people in your group, your preferred starting location, and whether any of the group members are vegetarian. "Large groups are welcome," Favilla expressed, adding, "It's going to be a fantastic day on the River Road."
