The Expedition
Teachers and students from four Virginia high schools embark on a four-week exploration down the entire James River aboard canoes, batteau, rafts and work boats where they experienced a 340-mile lesson in environmental stewardship and help create a vision for the next century of conservation of this treasured river. The Expedition is being sponsored a $50,000 grant from Dominion Resources.
The James River Expedition launched at the river’s headwaters in Iron Gate, VA on June 25 and arrived in Hampton, VA, at the river’s mouth, on July 22, 2011.
