The Virginia Geospatial Newsletter
![]() |
- The Virginia Geospatial Extension Program seeks to provide education and awareness of geospatial tools to a variety of stakeholders and constituents. In support of this effort, the VGEP produces the Virginia Geospatial Newsletter, which is a quarterly newsletter. The Virginia Geospatial Newsletter is directly disseminated to approximately 3000 individuals. In addition, the newsletter is also picked up and disseminated through an array of listservs and other online media.
