On Saturday, October 26, 2013, members of the public
are invited to “make a difference” by cleaning up a branch of Sleepy Hollow
Creek as part of the national Make a Difference Day event. This stream
cleanup will be jointly sponsored by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry
County and the Silver and Sleepy Hollow Creeks Watershed Coalition. The
goal for the day will be to protect the water quality in Sleepy Hollow Creek by
removing trash from the stream and the surrounding area.
The event will begin at 9:00 a.m. and
conclude at noon. Volunteers are asked to wear work clothes, gloves, and boots
and to park in the parking lot for the Prairie Trail on Hillside Road on the
north side of Crystal Lake. All necessary equipment as well as water and
snacks will be provided. If you have any questions about this event,
please contact Nancy Schietzelt at 815-356-1710. Come help us make a
positive difference in our environment and enjoy some time outdoors!
