Do you love being out on the water and want to do your part to protect the James River?
JRA and its James Riverkeepers are recruiting the James River’s first line of citizen defense, the RiverRats. This program engages volunteers to patrol the James and its tributaries and to complete an action project in their community. By helping JRA keep watch over our waterways and inspiring their neighbors, RiverRats play a vital role in protecting and restoring the health of America’s Founding River.
