Illinois WaterTrail Keepers removes hazard on the North Branch of the Chicago River!!!

IPC North crew Water Trail Keepers; Ryan Iverson, Aaron and Jessica Wernick, Gary Mechanic and Jack Snarr tackled a sizable tangle at the Caldwell Woods foot bridge over the North Branch of the Chicago River. Having concluded that much of the debris on river right was mired in mud, effort was focused on the left half which was cleared after about three hours and transferred from the river to an elevated bank.
