Du Quoin plants trees on Arbor Day

Employees of the city of Du Quoin planted a total of eight trees Friday in commemoration of Arbor Day. They planted six in the park, one in the west park and one downtown as part of an annual effort to promote trees and green spaces and to maintain the city's Tree City USA title. The city wishes to thank Denny George for donating his time and equipment, and Tom Hamlin for donating a tree. Photo provided
