“As part of my former job I used to travel quite a bit around the world,” Marco said during the tree-planting ceremony. “I have to say, the one thing I always loved was coming back to West Virginia, and seeing the green trees and the rivers and everything about this state that makes it so special.”
ELKINS The public is invited to a pair of tree planting events Friday.
The City of Elkins Tree Board and the Emma Scott Garden Club will be celebrating Arbor Day Friday with two tree plantings at city parks in Elkins.
