About Amber
Amber Ellis, JRA’s Restoration Director and Professional Landscape Architect with a certificate in ecotherapy, has looked to the James River as a source of comfort and healing for as long as she can remember.
Amber takes us through her journey with the River, beginning as a child growing up in Powhatan County and continuing through her current restoration role at JRA. She shares how she has harnessed her love of the River – as well as connecting others through our natural spaces – in ways that improve our river’s health, and our own.
Good stewards to one another
