The James River Buffer Program, administered by the James River Association and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, works with property owners to restore riparian forest buffers that improve the quality of local waterways.
To be eligible, the project must be entirely within the Middle and Upper James watershed and have an area along a waterway on their property where a forested buffer of 35’ or more can be established. Thanks to funding from the Virginia Environmental Endowment and Virginia Department of Forestry, this program covers 100% of the project costs including design, site preparation as needed, materials, installation, and three years of establishment maintenance.
