Tree Planting Ceremony
Cutting the Ribbon, November 2008
On a cold day in late November 2008, friends, donors and representatives of the City of Salisbury gathered with Philip Cooper, long-time City of Salisbury resident and former public servant for the City of Salisbury, to dedicate the replacement trees planted along Eastern Shore Drive in Salisbury. Mr. Cooper worked for the City when Eastern Shore Drive was designed and developed and he labored to initiate, implement, and raised the funding placed at the SACC Foundation from interested citizens for this project to replace the dead and dying original trees along the roadway. Approximately 150 Red Sunset Maple trees were planted the entire length of Eastern Shore Drive and Cooper presented this turn-key project to Mayor Barrie Tilghman and the City Council at the Dedication Ceremony where the Mayor cut the ribbon in celebration of this gift to the Salisbury community. Cooper, also, presented the remaining funds to Donna Griffith, Executive Director of the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, for their future landscape projects in Salisbury.
