Kathy & Dylan Are Giving Back! 🧹🌳 The couple took the 250 Pickers Challenge, picking up litter along the trail through Prairie Park and NIU, at Hopkins Park and along the Nature Trail. These are areas they've enjoyed since moving to DeKalb, so they decided to give back!

Help clean up your favorite parts of DeKalb by checking out a litter picker for free at the DeKalb Public Library and emailing your cleanup photo to [email protected].

Picker Count = 20
