Events and TrainingVolunteer at Boneyard Creek Community Day
Mar 24, 2026 | 8:21 am
F&S is a proud cosponsor of Boneyard Creek Community Day (BCCD).
Boneyard Creek is a 3.3-mile long tributary of the Salt Fork Vermilion River that runs through parts of Champaign, Urbana, and campus. On a Saturday every spring, volunteers come together to clean up this important local waterway. This year, Boneyard Creek Community Day (BCCD) was Saturday, April 18.
What should you expect during the event?
Volunteers check in at Scott Park (207 E. Springfield Ave., Champaign). Participants who don’t already have a BCCD T-shirt can obtain one there, and visit informational tents and booths. Campus and Champaign cleanup activities begin at 9 a.m. at Scott Park. If volunteers want to work at other community locations, please choose the location during online registration. At noon, everyone returns to Scott Park for a free lunch, music, and educational displays.
Do I need anything special to participate?
Please wear closed-toe shoes or boots that can get dirty and/or wet. Don’t forget to bring a refillable water bottle! Organizers will provide gloves and tools for you to use.
