More about It’s Our Fox River Day from the Friends of the Fox River
It’s Our Fox River Day (IOFRD) is held each year on the third Saturday of September. Individuals and groups organize events to celebrate, protect, and restore the health of the Fox River. In 2023, more than 2,000 volunteers came together to impact about 200 miles.
The Fox River “watershed” is the total land area that drains into the Fox River; it encompasses over 2,500 square miles and serves over 1 million residents. Protecting a watershed requires thinking and acting as a watershed. IOFRD is the largest demonstration of Fox River watershed-wide protective and celebratory action.
IOFRD is pronounced “I offered” – a day intended to be both an individual and collective event that offers a thank you to the Fox River. The concept originated as a 200-mile cleanup to symbolize the need for a unified approach to protect and restore a watershed. It is intended to grow awareness throughout the entire watershed for the need to work collaboratively to protect and restore the health of the Fox River. It is also an opportunity for residents to be able to say “I offered” thanks to my Fox River.
