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.

We recently received some thoughts from our Environmental Educator, Tyler Twyford. We wanted to pass them along, because we certainly share them:

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.

While the mission of the Friends remains a constant, how we do this continues to evolve. To reflect the energy associated with this transformative stage, the Board decided to update and refresh our logo.

Saturday, October 17th was a good day in the James River Park System and the City Of Richmond. It will be one of those days a Park Superintendent will look back on with a smile and as a reaffirmation as to all the good reasons a person chooses a career in parks.
