The first Friday of December marks National Arbor Day and the Town of Irmo celebrated by planting a white oak tree in the Community Park of Irmo.
Irmo is a part of Tree City USA which means Irmo plants a lot of trees and has created an urban forest around the town. The town maintains a tree board or department and celebrates Arbor Day each year. Tree City USA began in 1976 and boasts more than 3,600 recognized communities.
Pictured backed by the town public works department are Town Administrator Courtney Dennis (l) Mayor Barry Walker (c) and Public Works Director Whit Cline.
