The Conservation Foundation is collaborating with local partners to once again offer presentation series centered around the Fox River. This series highlights the wildlife diversity, unique attributes, and recreation opportunities provided by our most valuable natural asset, the Fox River. The benefits of living in and visiting the Fox River Valley are expansive, but also dependent on our human impact in these places. Join one or all of the presentations in the series to hear the speakers’ insights on the intricacies of our environment, ways to enjoy our local outdoor spaces, the cultural significance of the Fox River, and how you can care for our natural resources.
The Roaring 20s: Prohibition Era in the Fox River Valley

Every region has its historical legends and fantastical stories, and our communities are no exception. What’s fact and what’s fiction? Chris Linden, executive editor of Northwest Quarterly and Northwest Living Magazines, will explore the history (and tales) of the Fox River Valley during the 1920s, from the legendary hideouts, real-life haunts, and surprising stories of notorious people.
