Why did last Riverkeeper leave? Turnover rate seems high…
Isabel Hardesty says
Hi Steve – Tim and his family are moving to Maine for a new adventure! Tim has been Riverkeeper for three years and has been with our organization for almost seven years. Before Tim I had been the Chester Riverkeeper for four years; I’ve been with the organization now for almost ten years. And before me, David Foster, who commented below, was the Chester Riverkeeper!
Joseph Fick says
What happened to Tim?
Isabel Hardesty says
Hi Joe – Tim sent a “Fond Farewell” in his November Chester Riverkeeper newsletter! He and his family are moving to Maine for a new adventure.
David Foster says
