The lower Neuse Riverkeeper has resigned. George Olsen has more.
The Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation has announced the resignation of Mitch Blake as lower Neuse Riverkeeper, effective August 16. Blake cited “family obligations” in his resignation letter to Foundation President Jim Starr. Blake had been the lower Neuse Riverkeeper for the last 18 months. He’ll be succeeded on an interim basis by Lauren Wargo. She has been the Foundation’s Watershed Monitoring Specialist in the New Bern office. She received a BA in Environmental Science and Botany from Miami University. I’m George Olsen.
