About the Consortium

Consortium Partners

The James River TMDL established a goal to restore almost 70,000 acres of riparian buffers, but only 11% of this goal has been achieved. To meet this goal, there is a great need for organizations to collaborate and leverage resources.

Planning Team

As the sole organization focused on the James River, the James River Association is in a unique position to coordinate this effort.

Dialogue + Design Associates is a community engagement and design firm based in Charlottesville that serves as the Consortium facilitator.
