Mount Pleasant Plots 30,000 New Trees After Losing 22% of Its Canopy

Mount Pleasant wants 30,000 more trees in the ground by 2046, a goal town leaders say could nudge overall tree coverage from 55% to 56% over the next two decades. The target comes from a citizen-led task force that recommended planting 1,500 trees every year for 20 years, and Tree Task Force chair Jaime McKee says the town has 1,200 acres of available land to work with as the effort gets underway.

The discovery of forever chemicals on the playgrounds of Black Creek Elementary School is just one chapter in a story of contamination and citizen frustration on the sandy plains of eastern South Carolina. Cook and parents of school children, as well as farmers and their neighbors, are among hundreds of people dealing with environmental damage and health threats from a decision long ago to spread waste sludge on agricultural land to help crops grow in Darlington and nearby counties.
