ALBANY - The Lake Winnetka Sugar River Improvement Association Inc. will hold its annual Sugar River cleanup from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 17.
Volunteers should meet at the Albany American Legion Hall, 300 N. Water St.
The goal is to remove as much garbage as possible from the river and its banks, as well as clear a path through fallen trees that totally block navigation of canoes and create hazards. The type of work varies from walking the banks or riding in canoes and picking up trash to cutting tree branches and handing them to people on shore.
Equipment, including canoes or small boats, chain saws, bow saws and waders, is needed. American Rivers will provide trash bags and local businesses will provide food and refreshments.
The American Rivers National River Cleanup. Scout groups can earn community service points by helping out.
