The City of Galesburg Park Division along with Knox College will host the 14th annual Lake Storey fall clean-up Saturday, October 20th. Volunteers are encouraged to gather anytime between 8:00 am and noon on Saturday, October 20th at the East Boat Ramp. You can access the East Boat Ramp by taking Gatewood Lane off of North Henderson Street. City staff will be there handing out trash bags and will provide instructions. Water levels at the lake are being lowered making it possible for volunteers to walk the shoreline and some of the wooded trails. Work gloves are encouraged. City staff will also provide hot chocolate, water and donuts for volunteers. The yearly upkeep of the lake helps it to continue to provide opportunities for the public with its ball fields, campground, beach, playgrounds and multipurpose trails. The clean-up also provides another opportunity for nature enthusiasts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other community service organizations to help preserve and enhance a natural and social hub in Galesburg.
