THE DETAILS


Celebrate Earth Day by making an impact on our beloved James River and Lake Springfield
at this annual memorial clean-up to remember our dedicated JRBP volunteer and Ozark river enthusiast, Joe Kleiber.

CHECK-IN 

Check-in begins at 12:30 pm at the Southwood Access for ALL participants.

After a safety talk, and distribution of bags and gloves, participants will be either:

1) A shoreline clean-up at Southwood Access, Springfield Lake Clay Henshaw Memorial Access (fishing peirs) and Tailwaters Access;

2) Paddle to remote shorelines of Lake Springfield;

3) Float a 4.75 mile section of the James River from Crighton Access to Southwood Access*.
