National Rivers Month 2022

National Rivers Month is celebrated during June every year in recognition of the environmental, economic, and social significance of rivers and streams in more than 60 countries worldwide.

Many midwestern streams and rivers are degraded by the unintentional consequences of land use ranging from agriculture to urbanization. A February 2022 report from IEPA indicated that only 60% of surveyed Illinois streams and rivers were fully supporting of aquatic life.

 Hey and Associates’ staff are working with private and public clients in watersheds across northern Illinois to restore our rivers and streams. Projects include dam removal, restoration of in-stream habitat such as riffles and pools, restoration of riparian environments such as wetlands and floodplains, and related efforts to restore the health and integrity of our rivers and streams.
