The annual cleanup date for Ozark National Scenic Riverways is set for March 31 and April 1/NPS

Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri is hosting a river cleanup effort on March 31 and April 1 with the Ozark Heritage Project.

You're invited to join park staff as they launch the next 100 years of the National Park Service by cleaning up along the Current and Jacks Fork rivers. Staff from Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Ozark Heritage Project, park concessioners, local chambers of commerce, area schools, youth groups, and volunteers will band together to tackle litter in the rivers and along the roads and accesses of the park.

The river cleanup is scheduled for March 31 and April 1, with rain dates of April 7 and 8. You can register ahead of time or from 8 to 11 a.m. each day at the following sites: Watercress Landing in Van Buren, Alley Spring river landing, Round Spring lower river landing, Two Rivers landing, and Akers Ferry upper river landing. The staff at the registration sites will provide trash bags and river bags. Dumpsters and recycling trailers will also be available for trash disposal throughout the park. Participants are encouraged to bring work gloves and to wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

The Ozark Heritage Project is sponsoring a Saturday evening meal and musical entertainment for all participants beginning at 5 p.m. at the Alley Spring Pavilion at Alley Spring. The talented Friends Pickin’ bluegrass group from Ellington will be the featured performers.
