Stream Clean-up Day

Join the Environmental Stewardship Work Area for a fall stream clean-up at the Downers Grove Park District’s Patriots Park around Barth Pond on Saturday, September 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. Help us keep this natural site beautiful! Children and youth aged 7 to 18 are welcome to participate with a parent or other adult chaperone.

Please RSVP to VeraMiller83@gmail.com. We need advance sign-ups so that we can send details about where to meet and other information. 

Patriots Park is located at 501 55^th Street, Downers Grove, just a mile from the church. Participants will pick up trash at this popular public park and adjacent stream and wetland areas. Gloves, trash grabbers, and trash bags will be provided for the activity. The Conservation Foundation, a Naperville-based nonprofit, sponsors the Adopt-a-Stream program that our church belongs to, and the organization provides all the free supplies needed. 

See you there!
