Volunteer Work Days Going Quarterly
Join us as we work on various trail projects.
We've been holding volunteer work days on the third Saturday of each month for years, but recently decided to switch to a quarterly schedule instead. (Sort of a quality versus quantity thing!) Watch for a November project, listed here as soon as we know the details.

Projects range from trail maintenance, brush/limb clearing, tree planting and much more. It's a fun way to get outdoors, get some exercise and help a great cause! Check here for dates and details once we know what the projects will be.

2nd annual "Yoga on the Trail"
on Galloway's Old Iron Bridge
Saturday, September 25 (9:30-11am)
Imagine the opportunity to practice some good wholesome yoga right on a greenway trail! Yep, this is your chance - on the Old Iron Bridge on Galloway Creek Greenway, overlooking the lovely James River, lead by two of Springfield's best instructors. Everyone's welcome - beginner to advanced. Bring your own mat. Rain day will be the next morning. A collection plate will be passed for donations to Ozark Greenways...!
