Its Our River Day

Saturday, September 15, 2007 is It's Our River Day in Illinois.

Education, recreation and conservation are important to the health of our rivers. They are interconnected like a river within it�s ecosystem. It is important to keep the history and culture of life along the river alive, to continue efforts to address the threats against it�s health, and to provide new and innovative ways to provide access to the waterways for recreation.

With this in mind, communities and organizations are invited to celebrate your river by offering citizens a chance to experience, learn and contribute to the health of the watershed by providing organized activities annually on the third Saturday in September.

Take the It's Our River Day pledge today and come celebrate Illinois waterways on Saturday September 15, 2007.
