June 9, 2012 marked the 13th anniversary of the James River Cleanup event. Last year 960 people from across the state took time to clean up one of the nation's most historic rivers. Since the James has always been an integral part of the city of Richmond, return the favor and help clean its shores. On land and on water, volunteers made this year's event a success. Richmond had three clean up hub sites: Byran Park (4308 Hermitage Road), Pony Pasture (Pony Pasture Rapids), and Reedy Creek (4101 Riverside Drive). For more information about the clean-up event, visit the James River Advisory Council.

Now enjoy your work!
