The James River Association’s “Extreme Stream Makeover” initiative was a Gold Medal award winner in the 2011 Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award. The awards recognize the significant contributions of environmental and conservation leaders in three categories: environmental projects, environmental programs and land conservation. The awards were presented to the winning to businesses and industrial facilities, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies and individuals on April 6 at the Environment Virginia Symposium in Lexington.
Speaking about the awards, Governor Bob McDonnell remarked, “We are very proud of the Virginians in these private, non-profit and government entities who have demonstrated the innovation and dedication to improve our environment and make the lives of their fellow Virginians better.”
You can be part of this “award-winning” experience. JRA will be holding an Extreme Stream Makeover on April 11-15 in Newport News. For more information on Extreme Stream Makeover or to volunteer, visit
