The Culpeper SWCD publishes a newsletter, Views from the Foothills, on a seasonal basis. The newsletter is mailed to residents in our five-county district who pay land use taxes, and others who have an interest in our activities. We encourage readers to support the newsletter by defraying costs through sponsorship of the publication.   For more information about sponsoring our newsletter, call Stephanie DeNicola at (540) 825-8591.
