J. Blake Massengill

Mayor

Pledge Summary

The Town of Fuquay-Varina has a responsibility to raise awareness to help protect the viability of the monarch butterfly and other pollinators, as pollinators contribute to the vibrant ecosystem, successful local agriculture and gardening, and natural beauty that enhance Fuquay-Varina’s high quality of life. Mayor J. Blake Massengill is proud to join Mayors across North America that have made the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayor’s Monarch Pledge, in an effort to create and restore healthy habitat for this majestic species through awareness, education, and identifying opportunities to provide habitat on Town property.
