This year’s 20th anniversary summit brings national and local experts together to examine the intersections of watershed planning, climate justice, environmental health, and nature.

We stand with our fellow river advocates in North Carolina and Florida.

Join us to cheer on our 10 Chicago Marathon runners on Saturday, October 13 as they run the 26.2-mile course to raise funds to support our work to restore and protect the Chicago-Calumet River system for all people, water, and wildlife. 

We are pleased to welcome Corey Bossard, Senior Director – Business Controller at S&C Electric Company, to Friends' Board of Directors.

Fall Bridge Lift Viewing Dates are on Saturdays through November 2 and on Wednesdays through October 23. Saturday lifts are typically around 10 a.m. and Wednesday lifts around 9:30 a.m.

Just as ecosystem health is strengthened with biodiversity, a wide-spanning diversity of voices is necessary to create a resilient Chicago-Calumet River watershed.
