Rappahannock is a wonderful place to live not by luck but because citizens get involved to insure that it will remain so. Please call your supervisors and tell them that you support conserving the quality of life in Rappahannock and support the promotion of the Conservation Easement District.
Because the time to start investing in the county’s future is now!
