The Friends of the James River Park group has no shortage of offerings for Richmonders who love Belle Isle. The organization is offering opportunities to get involved with the island’s past and present.
On Thursday, Oct. 17 from 6:30-9:30 p.m., FOJRP is hosting an event at Basic City Beer Co. with archaeologist Tim Roberts.
Roberts was hired several months ago to conduct a comprehensive study on Belle Isle’s history. He will present his findings to the public and answer any questions.
FOJRP also hosts habitat restoration sessions with Richmond Tree Stewards every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Volunteers meet at the Bike Skills area to remove invasive plants and replace them with native ones. Sign up ahead of time and wear sturdy shoes, long sleeves, and long pants. Pro tip: Don’t forget a water bottle.
