On Saturday, August 18, a beautiful and abnormally mild day
in late summer, 15 river lovers gathered at Henricus Historical Park for JRA’s
RiverRats training. These newest volunteers will be patrolling areas all across
the watershed including the stretch from Howardsville to Hatton Ferry, Beaverdam
Creek near Mechanicsville, and on the other end of the watershed one couple from
Isle of Wight will be patrolling Chuckatuck Creek.
The James River now has 85 RiverRats to serve as its eyes
and ears and they cover 68% of the main stem of the James River and over 370
miles of the James River and its tributaries. If you see someone with a
RiverRat hat on next time you are out on the water, thank them for keeping
their eyes out for the James River.
