SUMMARY:River Rat Training 2026
DESCRIPTION:The River Rats program engages volunteers to patrol the James and its tributaries and report their sightings to us through the RiverRat portal\, only accessible to RiverRats. Whether by walking a neighborhood stream\, kayaking a local river\, or boating the wide reaches of the lower James\, RiverRats will document potential pollution sources and their effects while also reporting natural patterns in river hydrology and wildlife sightings. \nExtensive training and support will be provided by the James River Association. These training sessions give future River Rats information and resources about what to look out for while on patrols. \nCoffee and snacks will be provided \nSaturday\, February 28th\n9:30AM – 1:30PM\nJRA’s Williamsburg Office at Neck of Land\,\n1335 Colonial Nat’l Historical Pkwy\, Williamsburg\, VA 23185 \nThis training is for new River Rats and will consist of a robust presentation on issues you may encounter while carrying out independent River Rat patrols through this volunteer program. We will take breaks for snacks\, questions\, and the like. Time and weather permitting\, we will do a small mock patrol at the river. More information to follow after your registration. \nThis training is now full. If you are interested in joining us for a future training sign up here.

SUMMARY:Below the Surface: Invasive Catfish in the James River
DESCRIPTION:Invasive species threaten the James River from every angle\, but some of the most significant impacts are hidden underwater. Join the James River Association and the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources for an insightful conversation on the rise of blue and flathead catfish. We’ll explore how these species have thrived in our watershed and what their rapid expansion means for the health of our native fish and the future of the river ecosystem. \nHeld in coordination with Richmond Invasive Species Awareness Week (RISAW)\, this program offers two ways to join: \n\n\nIn-Person: Join us at the James A. Buzzard River Education Center in Richmond. \n\n\nVirtually: Participate from home via Zoom. \n\n\nRegistration is required. Please complete the form below to secure your spot and receive the meeting link if attending virtually. \nSign up here!
