The Envision the James project is an online initiative to engage the community to make their voices heard pertaining to the James River. The project seeks to educate people but also learn what they would like to see happen along the James in terms of recreation, protection, and education. This is very important to helping people understand the geography of the James River and how it affects and is affected by humans.
The site also includes GeoStories, which are collections of pictures, videos, text, and audio that tell a story about a place. Several are already available on the website discussing several different areas along the James River. This is a great way to “remote sense” the river and learn more about it through other people’s experiences.
