Another Great Volunteer Day!
On November 7th, members of our Invasive Plant Task Force joined with some eager volunteers to tackle an area at Pony Pasture. The weather was perfect for a day of removing wintercreeper and a few other stragglers.
Giving Thanks for Our Park

A Beautiful Park Book!
Bill Draper is a true lover of our great outdoors, and a true friend of the James River Park System. He’s also a gifted photographer, and gathered a fantastic collection of his favorite pictures from around the Park to include in a deluxe coffee table book.
