Starved Rock Saplings to learn to fish

This month’s Starved Rock Saplings theme is fish.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Urban Fishing program will join the sapling group at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, July 13, and teach younger participants how to fish.

IDNR staff will read a storybook about fish, introduce some fun fish facts and review the different species that live in the Illinois River.

All Sapling programs are suitable for children ages 3 to 10 with a chaperoning adult. Email conservation education representative Josh Vodden to register at joshua.vodden@illinois.gov.
