Springfield’s Stream Team

Volunteer options available

Stream Team features two types of service projects: drop-in events that we host every season, and customized events planned for specific groups.

  1. Drop-in events – Stream Team partners with Willamalane Park and Recreation District to host seasonal plantings and clean-up events. Sign up below for our mailing list, to receive an invitation to these activities.
  2. Custom group events – All our events are held outdoors, along Springfield’s waterways, so Stream Team offers a fun and safe way for groups to improve the health and beauty our community while maintaining physical distance. We are happy to discuss a custom service project for your group! Please contact us with questions.
