The Des Plaines River Undammed: Dam Removals and Expansion of the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan Yields Restoration Milestones for the Des Plaines River In-Person

Tristan Widloe, Region II Stream Specialist, with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) will present an update on the condition of the Des Plaines River at Riverside. A presentation in 2015 by the IDNR showed a marked improvement in fish populations and overall stream quality following the 2012 removal of Hoffman Dam. This presentation offers the perspective of an additional 10 years of fishery and river ecosystem data.

This event is co-sponsored by the Olmsted Society.
