There are underwater invaders in local streams and rivers and Kane County Forest Preserve District is asking for your help to find them.
The culprit is the rusty crayfish, a tiny aquatic creature that is an invasive species in Kane County.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7, help local naturalists round up some rowdy rusty crayfish in an effort to reduce their numbers at two locations: Glenwood Park Forest Preserve, 1644 S. River St. in Batavia, or Ferson Creek Park, off Route 31, east of Wildrose Springs Drive in St. Charles.
