Serving Amelia, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties
This cartoon is one of two purchased from cartoonist Gary Fetters. (Click on the cartoon above to zoom in and read the dialogue). A conservation cartoon is only one of many different ways that the Piedmont SWCD reaches out to a varied audience with their conservation message. The District also produces a bi-monthly radio spot aired on WFLO in Farmville during the noon hour, sends out newsletters seasonally, and hosts educational farm tours and trainings.
The Piedmont Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a non-profit, political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia operating primarily on a grant basis with funds from state and local governments. Piedmont SWCD provides technical and educational assistance for natural resource conservation to land users, farmers, foresters, homeowners, and local governments in Amelia, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties. Since 1939, the District has delivered voluntary, locally-led conservation solutions to natural resource concerns.
