Join team leader Gina Hutchings and other volunteers from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 13, 2017, at the 35th Street Bridge/Bridgeport Arts Center at 1298 W. 35th St., Chicago, to help beautify the river, collect garbage to sort for recycling, remove invasive vegetation, spruce up river-edge trails and plant native seedlings. Volunteers will receive a commemorative Chicago River Day t-shirt.
