The stream at Pine Camp Cultural Arts and Community Center is suffering from severely degraded and unsafe streambanks. In partnership with the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities this project seeks to ensure a safe and stable environment that prevents further erosion, and provide a healthier habitat for wildlife, native plants, and the community alongside new recreational and educational opportunities.

Local artists will paint four storm drains in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom neighborhood in the near future. Chosen designs promote the goals of the City of Richmond’s RVA Clean Water Plan. The plan is a five-year roadmap for reducing pollutant discharges into the James River, starting with wastewater, stormwater, and the combined sewer system.
