The Valley of the Fox Water Sentinels host river clean-ups and advocate for the continued clean-up and protection of the Fox River. Reducing nutrient pollution (phosphates and nitrates) and excess salts are two of the team's main goals, as well as removing dams that no longer serve their intended purpose to allow for a free-flowing river and reduce algae growth in shallow pools.

Fox River Nutrient Pollution Report

In 2002, the Water Sentinels published a report on phosphorus pollution in the Fox River. Since then, recommendations have been made, and legislation passed, to limit and reduce the amount of this algae nutrient entering the river.  Click here to download a full 2012 update report.
