October is River Hero Homes Month!
River Hero Homes is a community of stewards that realize the first step to a healthier James River starts at home. Implementing river-friendly conservation practices at homes is as easy as properly disposing of pet waste, using regionally native plants, reducing the use of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, and conserving water. October is River Hero Homes Month and we are inviting all residents of the 10,000-square-mile James River watershed to take the pledge to become a hero for both their community and river. River Hero Homes membership comes with a membership card, discounts at nurseries and other businesses, a James Changer yard flag, seasonal newsletters, and access to workshops and webinars.
