  • A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to all the wonderful people and foundations that it would take forever to name up and down the Kankakee River who have shared their stories, taken us out on boats, trucks, gators, or golf carts :) .... helped us find historical photos, made donations, sung songs, did radio shows, river watches, and just kept us going ETC.ETC. I can go on and on. This is for all of you ;) Thank You. Now we still have a lot of work to do!

  • Thank you to the members of the Izaak Walton League-Diana Chapter and National Board for having enough faith to sponsor this project and for sharing their passion for the environment! To Jeff Manes for writing and bringing this amazing story to us and traveling up and down the river helping!

  • Loved the video, it is always a pleasure to learn new history about kankakee..

  • It's about time the story of the Grand Kankakee Marsh be told. The promo is fantastic. I eagerly await the airing of this story. I'm a waterfowler, and conservationist. I've read about the "Everglades of the North" in old classic waterfowling tales. What a shame this important habitat has been so abused. I hope in the future it will make a come back. Thanks to all involved for producing this documentary, and to those fighting for the marsh!

  • Wow, it looks terrific. Thanks to Mr. Bowman for bringing this to our attention.

  • A cautionary tale that, sadly, probably won't be seen by the type of people still carrying on this same kind of destruction today. Keep up the work though. Giving in to cynicism and defeat is the surest way to let them win.

  • Thank you Jeff and all those working with you. You are doing such an outstanding job on something so important to those of us from the area. I can’t wait to see the full length film. I plan to learn a lot. Keep me informed.

  • Great video and a great project! We are excited! I wish we could afford to donate to this project, but we cannot right now. However if there is anything a couple pairs of free hands can do for this project, my wife and I are willing!

  • Couldn't agree more- an absolutely outstanding ecological resource that should be restored!

  • This video is amazing. Good job Jeff and all.
