The James River has nurtured Virginia for over 400 years, and now it needs nurturing itself. Called "America's Founding River" for the important role it played in the early years of our nation, the James River continues to touch the lives of millions of Virginians. From its headwaters in the Appalachians into the Chesapeake Bay, the 340-mile James River sustains a vibrant and diverse ecosystem. Today, the health of the river is threatened by pollution and habitat destruction. We need everyone who cares about the James River to get involved in making sure it can continue to nurture Virginia for centuries to come.
