Paint Out Pollution
In 2018, Middle James Round Table is collaborating with the City of Lynchburg, the James River Association and Art on Wheels' Paint out Pollution Program to host a Storm Drain Art Project to remind the community to put “only rain down the drain” and to educate residents on how they can do their part to improve local water quality. This project is aimed at increasing public awareness of stormwater pollution and celebrates the native plant and animal species that call the James River home through storm drain art. Artwork will be installed on storm drains across the City of Lynchburg. 
Soil Test Voucher Program
Don't Guess....Get a Soil Test! Although fertilizer can be very helpful in establishing happy, healthy plants, it poses a risk if not used properly. Excess fertilizer and chemicals wash away with rainwater and pollute our local streams and waterways. The first guideline of responsible fertilizer application is to take a soil sample and have it analyzed to determine fertilizer needs. Henricopolis SWCD has established a soil test incentive program to offset the cost of soil analysis for Henrico County residents. Henricopolis will provide two coupons per household to Henrico County residents to cover the $10.00 processing fee for a standard soil test (not including postage). Soil test kits are available in the Henrico Extension Office or in county libraries. Coupons are available by email or in-person Email requests to soiltestvouchers@henrico.us Include your name, physical address andnumber of coupons requested |
