Alliance For The Chesapeake Bay: In 2012 the Alliance will plant 1500 native
tree seedlings and trees in the city of Richmond and surrounding counties.
This new project is a part of the Alliance's Healing the Land Initiatives.
This work is made possible through a generous grant from Altria. To help
implement this new project, we are proud to announce a partnership with
Hands-On Greater Richmond who will help with volunteer coordination of
the tree planting events. Our plan is to engage local watershed and community-
based groups and members of the local corporate community in
learning why trees are so important to help protect clean water in streams
and rivers and to enjoy a day (or more) of volunteering to plant trees. This
work will help the City of Richmond and the Commonwealth of Virginia to
achieve local clean-up plans for the James River watershed and create a
greener City. If you are part of a group that would be interested in partnering, please contact the Alliance at acbva@allianceforthebay.org.
Activity Sheets are Here!
The Roundtable is excited to announce that the James River Watershed Educational Activity Sheets are here and ready for distribution! The activity sheets educate children and adults about watersheds and pollution prevention. They display a watershed illustration that can be colored by kids and a variety of puzzles and activities. There are over 62,000 sheets ready to be distributed across the James River watershed! One of the main goals of this project is to reach a diverse audience. If you are interested in distributing the sheets in your community please consider a variety of venues! In order to obtain activity sheets please contact info@mjrt.org.To view the activity sheet, please click here.
