SUST 350 Service & Sustainability & Chicago Lights Urban Farm canoe trip on Bubbly Creek, the South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River. This was the 2nd of two field trip experiences for RU undergrads and Growing Power Youth Corps job interns who have been working together in the Spring of 2012 at the Chicago Lights Urban Farm. Led by Friends of the Chicago River, this outdoor adventure introduced RU students and Cabrini-Green youth to river ecology, wastewater policy, Chicago history, urban biodiversity, paddling skills, and teamwork. Most participants had limited to no canoeing experience prior to our adventure.
