See available funding programs!
Programs such as the James River Buffer Program (JRBP) works to provide the James River watershed with resilient streamside forests that improve water quality and that landowners visions are understood. For qualifying landowners, the program provides:
- design and management plan
- preparation of site as needed
- materials
- installation
The JRBP is a partnership between The James River Association, the Virginia Department of Forestry, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and is one of the many funding programs available to landowners.
