Join us for JRBP's Annual Earth Day Clean-Up
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
 
We will be hosting our annual Earth Day cleanup on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, from 1:00-5:00 pm at Lake Springfield.
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 Crighton Access to the Southwood Access or float the lake from the Boathouse. Shuttling from Southwood to Crighton Access will be provided. Bring your own boat or call and reserve one of ours for free. Please note the river section is limited to 30 boats. All participants floating on the James River or Lake Springfield will be required to wear life jackets. 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 James River Greenway Trail of Honor, Tailwaters Access and Clay Henshaw Memorial Access.
To register, please visit our event webpage. For questions, please call Bekah Davis at (417) 353-2812 or email BekahDavis@JamesRiverBasin.com. Businesses and organizations with large groups should contact Bekah directly.
