ANNOUNCEMENTS |
Ready to give the Illinois River a little pick-me-up? Join the OSRC’s second Illinois River cleanup of the summer on Friday, July 11th. This event will clean the river after the 4th of July festivities, and will help keep the river enjoyable through the rest of the busy summer season. This is not only an opportunity to enjoy some time floating the river for free, but is also a great way to care for the local environment. The OSRC organizes three cleanups every summer, one after each of the major holidays. May’s cleanup already removed 1,675 pounds of trash from the river. Participants in each cleanup will have a chance to win one of two Old Town kayaks being given away at the final cleanup. Organizations, businesses and individuals are invited to participate. The pre-registration deadline is Wednesday, July 9th. To pre-register, call the OSRC at (918) 456-3251, or email osrc2@fullnet.net.

| Oklahoma's Scenic Rivers are the state's most popular destinations for canoeing, kayaking, and other outdoor water activities. Because of the importance of Oklahoma's Scenic Rivers, they are frequently tested by several agencies and other organizations. Information taken from this testing indicates there are times when levels of bacteria in the water exceed the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended standards for human contact. The rivers do not exceed EPA recommended standards on a daily basis, but exceedances occur often enough that people using the river should take some precautions. Attached are some recommendations on how to safely enjoy Oklahoma's Scenic Rivers.
