Make Living Shorelines Happen

If you love our watershed, join us in protecting it by volunteering to help create living shorelines. 

Volunteer Opportunities

Marsh Stewards Program

​The first couple of years after a living shoreline is installed are critical for its health and survival. Our Riparian Stewards program trains volunteers to assist homeowners with their living shorelines. Volunteers will be trained in assessing a living shoreline, identifying invasive species, and replacing lost vegetation. Contact Ryan Walsh for more information at rwalsh@thejamesriver.org.
