COUNTY EXECUTIVE POLLITT, SALISBURY MAYOR IRETON TO OBSERVE ARBOR DAY WITH G.O.B. TREE-PLANTING


Wicomico County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr. and new Salisbury Mayor James Ireton will preside at an Arbor Day tree-planting ceremony on the Government Office Building Plaza on Friday, April 24, at 1:00 P.M. The public is invited.

The 6 new deep-rooting Cherry trees replace their shallow-rooting predecessors that had caused damage to the pavement on a large portion of the plaza resulting in unsafe pedestrian conditions.

Mr. Pollitt said, “This will mark our second formal observance of Arbor Day. The occasion is symbolic of how important our unique natural resources…our forests and trees…are to us in Wicomico County. We must strive to preserve them wherever it is possible.”

Mayor-Elect Ireton commented, “These new trees symbolize the revitalization and growth that we need to bring to Downtown Salisbury. As you watch them grow, watch our city get better and better.”
