CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — Volunteers are gearing up for the 17th annual Boneyard Creek Community Day this weekend.

The date for the event is Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to noon.

“Boneyard Creek Community Day is a way to celebrate and protect our lakes and streams by engaging volunteers to pitch in and clean,” the event’s website reads.

Some places volunteers will clean up include Scott Park, Kaufman Lake, UI Campus and Kickapoo Rail Trail. A free lunch will follow after clean-up.
