Bluffton’s Shannon Cemetery has a freshly planted young Princeton Elm that has been dubbed “Cory.” When the Village of Bluffton Tree Commission and local Cub Scouts joined together on April 25 for an Arbor Day celebration, the two groups enjoyed working together to plant a tree near the sidewalk at Jefferson and Vance streets.
Commission member Becky Ramey encouraged the children to name the tree, to come back and visit it in the coming weeks and years, and even to water it when the weather is dry.
