The Springfield Art Museum, in partnership with the Springfield-Greene County Park Board, is excited to host monthly Fassnight Creek Cleanups. These volunteer-driven efforts play a vital role in maintaining the health and beauty of the creek while fostering community engagement in conservation efforts.
Volunteer Clean-Ups are held the second Saturday of each month from March through October, weather permitting. Volunteers should wear clothes and shoes they don't mind getting dirty, and bring sunscreen, bug spray, water, and a hat if desired. This is a family friendly opportunity, but children under 16 years old should be accompanied by a caregiver.
