Elkins Celebrate Arbor Day
Elkins Tree Board members with Mayor Van Broughton, Girl Scout Clare Talbott, Boy Scout Joel Plishlla, Boy Scout Eliott Talbott, Phil Gainer Community Center director Chris Lee and Matt Cook of the state Division of Forestry gather at the Community Center Friday to plant a pink dogwood tree in celebration of collaboration with Tree City USA on Arbor Day. The tree was donated by Matt Davis of Terra Flora and is the first of many dogwood trees planned for the Community Center. The Tree Board recently planted two disease-free American chestnuts on the south lawn of the building.
