Cleanup Reports:

2011 2010 2009

The Batavia Youth Baseball 12 Gold Travel Team volunteers found a sad example about how others can abuse our valuable resource - The Fox River. They found a dumping ground on the banks of the Fox for all these used oil filters that were leaking into the river - which is used as drinking water for both Elgin and Aurora!
