F&S is a proud co-sponsor of Boneyard Creek Community Day (BCCD) 2024, which will take place Saturday, April 20. The makeup rain date is May 4.

The event starts and ends at Scott Park (207 E. Springfield Avenue, Champaign) and includes lunch, music, and educational displays following the cleanup.

The 2023 event was on Saturday, April 22. See photos below!

Sign up now at www.boneyardcreek.org. The Facebook event page is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1084476722833856.

Why is the event needed?
BCCD is a way to celebrate and protect lakes and streams in Champaign County by engaging volunteers to pitch in and clean. Litter looks bad; it clogs storm drains, causing local flooding; and it ends up in receiving streams, harming aquatic life. This event helps remind us to be responsible citizens and put trash in its place.

What should I wear?

Wear clothes you do not mind getting dirty. Dress to work outside and wear closed-toed shoes or boots. Some projects may involve getting into the creek. Participants taking on those tasks should wear waterproof boots. Please bring a refillable water bottle and wear your orange Boneyard shirt from a previous year if you already have one.
