We have partnered with Springfield Greene County Parks and MDC Nature Center for another Earth Day Cleanup.  This year’s Earth Day is Good Friday, April the 22nd.  If you are one of the lucky few that has Good Friday off I can’t think of a better way to spending it than to spend it with us doing something good for our environment. This event is for everyone, we’ll have shoreline, lake and river cleanup opportunities. 

If you have early spring canoeing experience we invite you to help cleanup a section on the James from Creighton Access to Southwood Access approximately 4.75 miles. Transportation to and from the Creighton Access with be provided. Those of you who don’t feel up to a river experience we’ll have canoes at he Southwood Access so you can make your way down to Lake Springfield and the Nature Center. Personal canoes and kayaks are encouraged because we’ll only have limited amount of canoes.  If you need a canoe reserve yours today!

The float cleanup will start at 1:00pm and end at approximately 4:00pm.

If you would like to keep your feet on dry land we have that covered as well.  Join us and the Wilson Creek Group Home for a morning shoreline cleanup.  The shoreline cleaners will need to meeting at 10:00am at the Southwood Access.  Trash bags, gloves, and orange vest will be provided. 

You can make this an all day event by helping with both or choose one or the other.  Which ever you decide we hope to see you on the 22nd helping to make our earth a little cleaner.

Volunteers need to register with Melissa Bettes before April 19th.
