River Hero Home Pledge

Stormwater runoff continues to be one of the largest threats facing the James River. Every time it rains, fertilizers, herbicides, bacteria from pet waste, and chemicals flow from our properties into local waterways. This pollution can make it unsafe for people and wildlife.

River Hero Homes is a community of stewards that realize the first step to a cleaner James River starts in their own backyard. Take steps to improve your home and become a hero for your community and your river.

Every River Hero Home receives a garden flag, sticker, membership card, discounts at local nurseries and garden centers, plus a free year Family Membership to the James River Association.

Choose three behaviors you pledge to adopt: *

Pick up after your dog Reduce or eliminate the use of herbicides/pesticides Avoid invasive species and use native plants to support wildlife and reduce watering needs Use alternatives to municipal drinking water for irrigation Reduce need for fertilizer by encouraging healthy soil with mulch and compost
