The James River Basin Partnership will be hosting their annual Earth Day cleanup on Friday April 22, 2022, from 12:30-5:00 at Lake Springfield. Partners for this event include Springfield-Greene County Parks and Recreation, The City of Springfield’s Department of Environmental Services, Bass Pro Shops, and the Missouri Department of Conservation.
This is a FREE event open to anyone who would like to get out and make a difference in their community. We will have shoreline, lake, and river cleanup opportunities available.
Pre-registration is required.
Experienced floaters have the option to float a 4.75-mile section of the James River from Creighton Access to the Southwood Access. Shuttling from Southwood to Creighton Access will be provided. Bring your own boat or call and reserve one of ours for FREE. A limited number of canoes are available on a first come first serve basis, so don’t delay. Trash bags and gloves will be provided.
If paddling isn’t your thing, grab a trash bag and walk the shorelines of Lake Springfield and the James River. We will have multiple shoreline cleanup opportunities available including the Tailwaters Access and Clay Henshaw Memorial Access.
Businesses & organizations with large groups should contact Todd directly.
