Contact your City Council Member!
On Monday night, April 14th, Josh went to Council’s regular meeting and was able to talk about funding Mayo Island Park.
Support Funding for Mayo Island Park!
We are asking you to reach out to your City Council Members to let them know that you support the JRPS and the proposed $16 million for Mayo Island Park.
On the City Budget
The Mayor’s commitment to the James River Park System reflects a shared vision: a vision of a city where nature and urban life coexist in harmony.
How’s the James?
Our friend Ryan Abrahamsen runs HowstheJamesRVA and he wanted to share some updates about Hows the James RVA and let you all know about some new partnership opportunities.
It’s Osprey Cam Season!
The RVA Osprey Cam is officially live for the 2025 season, giving bird lovers, conservationists, and curious onlookers a front-row seat to the fascinating world of ospreys nesting along the James River.
Can You Believe It’s Almost Springtime?
One of the easiest ways to support FOJRP in the Spring is by participating in the Wood River Run on April 26th.
A Word About Funding
On Friday, we learned that many of the federal grant programs we rely on were paused.
Wood River Run 2025!
We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Wood River Run 2025, a 5K memorial run hosted by Friends of the James River Park, taking place on Saturday, April 26th, 2025.
A Busy Time in the Park!
We had a pretty active couple of days in the Park at the end of November, and I wanted to share more information about them with you all.
Support the Park Today!
It is Giving Tuesday, a day when all of your favorite charities make a pitch for your support, and that is what I am here to do.
