Des Plaines River Valley Restoration Project

A Centralized Location for Cook County FPDCC Collaboration

Mission of the project

The Des Plaines River Valley Restoration Project protects the environment by preserving natural habitat. We remove invasive aliens--non-native plants like buckthorn and garlic mustard--to make room for native plants, including threatened and endangered species.

It’s called ecological restoration and our goal is to increase biodiversity.
