The results are in from the eighth annual “What a Healthy River Means to Me” poster contest. Middle school students in the City of Richmond, City of Lynchburg, Goochland, Hanover County, James City County, Henrico County, Charles City County and Chesterfield that are situated within five miles of the James River, or have participated in our education programs were invited to illustrate “What a Healthy River Means to Me”.

This year we had over 100 students submit entries that depicted what a healthy river means to them. JRA would like to congratulate the winners and thank all the students and teachers who showed us “What a Healthy River Means to Me”!

This poster contest was made possible through a generous donation by a long-time JRA member and James River Advocate. Thank you so much for your continued support!
