Shedd and Urban Rivers Work Day on  Wild Mile

Freshwater Lab at UIC

Kayak on the Wild Mile to learn about river ecology, help clean up the waterway, and do some wildlife research with Shedd and Urban Rivers!

Kayak Chicago

The Wild Mile Chicago is the first mile-long floating eco-park in the world. It involves reclamation of the North Branch Canal and Turning Basin to a park with floating gardens and forests, public walkways, and kayak docks. This work day will take us on the river in kayaks to maintain floating wetlands, plant, and pick up trash from the river. Our hosts will be the Shedd Aquarium and Urban Rivers. Come paddle on the Wild Mile to learn about river ecology, help clean up the waterway, and do some wildlife research!Registration is required for attendance as this event has limited availability. If we have more than twenty people register, then a second time slot will open at a different time on the same day.
