PREVIOUS EVENTS


Eagle Days
"Friends of the Fox River sponsored a table at the Eagle Watch Weekend at Starved Rock State Park on the weekend of January 26 & 27, 2008. A number of nature lovers who attended stopped by to talk to us about their love for the Fox River and the recreational opportunities the river (and its tributaries) afforded them. It was heartening to see the interest of so many people in what our organization does and in the health of the Fox River watershed ecosystem. We appreciate everyone who stopped by and viewed our display or talked with us. Look for us at Eagle Watch Weekend in 2009!"
