Can you imagine the James River Park in five years? What do you see?
In 17 years, longtime city worker Nathan Burrell transformed James River Park with patience and perseverance. This is what he did.
One of the best things about living in Richmond is the river and, more specifically, the James River Park System.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the trash that is collected during the cleanup? At the Reedy Creek site, not only is the trash sorted from the recycling, but all of the recycling is then sorted to separate glass, plastic, aluminum and cardboard piles. Here is a glimpse into the process! And remember, the next time you are out enjoying nature, pack it in and pack it out!
