It's May 11, Chicago River Cleanup Day, and Big Marsh Park on the south side is about to get a make over.

HESNI volunteers again added more "Friends of the Chicago River" who put in a hard morning of cleanup and restoration to park land adjacent to our river system.

Helpers, big and little, young and old, plant seedlings that will bring new growth and color.

While we'll bet everyone was tired when it was over no one went home hungry, thanks to a delicious lunch provided by the catering truck and crew from Leopardo Companies.
