Who is Living in the River?

Get ready to wade into the world of river life alongside park district naturalists. During this two-hour program, you'll learn how scientists survey local waterways to check on the river's overall health. The highlight? Watching staff catch fish in nets, giving you an up-close look at these creatures before they're gently returned to their home. It's a hands-on way to understand what's really thriving beneath the surface. This outing welcomes families of all ages, from preschoolers to seniors, making it a great choice whether you're introducing young kids to nature or enjoying an outdoor adventure together.
