BONUS: Celebrating Lou Zeller: 35 years with Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League
This week I’m bringing you a very special episode because it is, Lou Zeller, our Executive Director at Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League last week with us as he retires. This month is also marking his 35-year career with BREDL including nine years as executive director.

Lou, the communities, people, organization, and the environment are forever grateful for your time and contributions you’ve made, you will be greatly missed!
