A Summer Season of Change
As you likely know, we’ve grown the footprint of the James River Park System over the past year, and we’ll likely set another record for visitation. This means that the needs of Park staff and the scope of our work has to evolve.
The Park Needs Your Help!
The James River Park System needs your help, in the form of funding and volunteer time. That is the only way we get anything done.
Run For the Park!
Dominion, one of our sponsors for the Wood River Run, is back with another 5K, and we could get 100% of your registration fee!
A Note on Our Fiscal Year
All of our work can be broken down into the 3 areas of our mission- Protect, Expand, and Enhance. Here are some of the ways we used the funds we were given to make a difference this year.
Camera to Canvas Returns!
We are excited to be planning Camera to Canvas 2024, and we hope to see many of you there. The event this year will take place on September 13th at Willow Oaks Country Club.
About the Belle Isle Gateway
You might have read an article this week about the Belle Isle Nature Exploration Area. I wanted to clarify a few things.
Where’s the Osprey Cam?
River conditions and the behavior of the birds have made repairs difficult.
We’re Hiring a Graffiti Technician!
This year we are excited to be able to support the James River Park System by hiring two part time seasonal Graffiti Response Field Technicians.
A Better Space
We need to do more to instill a culture of sustainability in our Park users.
Help Expand the Park!
We have an immediate opportunity to expand the Park, and we need you to help us make it happen! The available parcel is a 4.5-acre piece of land, known as the Brander Street Property, that sits between Ancarrow’s Landing and I-95.
