RIVERFRONT RESOURCES WEBINAR

LEARN ABOUT AND CARE FOR THE RIVER

Hello, river neighbor! From one river steward to another, we are happy to connect.

FOLAR is gathering Riverfront Champions together to unite as a community group where we can share river care resources, learn from each other about preserving views while reducing erosion and strengthening shorelines, and ultimately, work together to protect our shared resource.

Let’s get together and enhance our river!

RIVERFRONT RESOURCES WEBINAR

Are you wanting to learn more about how you can enhance your riverfront property? This Riverfront Resources Webinar features staff from the Virginia Department of Forestry, the Virginia Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts and the James River Association as they highlight the opportunities and resources they have through their programs, and how you can take advantage of them to benefit our river systems and enhance your riverfront property.
