The James River Association comes together for one unifying purpose, to protect the James River and connect people to it.

We celebrated 50 years of JRA, toasted this vital resource, and looked ahead to the next 50. For the past 50 years, the James River Association has spearheaded the restoration and protection of this vital resource. Through the dedication of our supporters, the James River has transformed from one of the nation’s most polluted rivers into one of the most improved.
