Welcome to the third episode of The Fox River Story, a Season Two collaboration with Friends of the Fox River.

In today's episode, Erik Anderson and Pam Otto of the St. Charles Park District talk about habitat related topics throughout the Fox River watershed. 

Did you know the Fox River watershed is home to:

  • 96 species of fish
  • 32 species of fresh water mussels
  • 250 bird species
  • 21 reptile species
  • 14 amphibians species
  • 14,000 plant species (of which 77 are endangered and another 25 are on the threatened list)

Today's podcast just scratches the surface. Hopefully, it gets you (and many others) thinking how we can collectively invest our time and resources in watershed restoration projects.
