Clean Water is No Accident

It has taken over four decades to take the river from one of the nation’s most polluted rivers to one of its most improved.

Your continued support has made a difference for the wildlife, ecosystems, and communities that depend on the James. Thanks to you, JRA helped to secure record funding for Virginia’s clean water programs and restored hundreds of acres of forests along critical river habitat. The more we invest in the river, the more improvement we see in the river’s health.

As we look back on another year of progress, we hope you will consider supporting our critical work to protect the river and connect people to it. An end-of-year gift will help us as we:

PROTECT

  • Improve water quality and protect drinking water
  • Restore our watershed through Buffers and Living Shorelines
  • Reduce key pollutants like stormwater runoff
  • Protect vulnerable species, such as migratory fish

CONNECT

  • Provide educational experiences to students across the watershed
  • Increase our presence in our communities through our River Education Centers
  • Engage watershed communities and inspire them to enjoy the James River

Please continue to be a James Changer by making a year-end gift today!
