DuPage River Sweep Success!
Thanks to all of our volunteers who braved iffy weather to participate in this year's event. Despite the weather, we managed to collect a lot of trash and debris from the watershed and help improve water quality and wildlife habitat. Thanks again for your volunteer efforts and we hope to see you again at an upcoming Conservation Plainfield event.
