June Resolution: Think Beyond the Banks

Our 12 River Resolutions for 2025 are designed to inspire actions and ideas that you can embrace to improve the health of the 156-mile Chicago-Calumet River system and its tributary streams for all people, water, and wildlife. The monthly advocacy steps are an invitation to engage and educate the public to get to know the river system as well as what they can do for it and why it matters for us all.

No matter where you live in our watershed you are connected to our rivers through storm drains and pipes. Gardeners should use safer alternatives to pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides which wash away into rivers and everyone can use wildlife friendly cleaning supplies. Your choices make a difference.
