The 125 year old white oak that presides over the town’s park was protected during the construction of the park. “We had a few problems to work,” said Whit Cline, Irmo Public Services Director. “The results are an extremely well cared for focal point for the park.”

Danny Burbage, President of SC Urban & Community Forestry Council, presented the award to town council.

South Carolina’s Heritage Trees program was developed in 2004 as a way to identify, celebrate and recognize remarkable trees that evoke community spirit in the state. Nominees can be trees with special historical or cultural significance or a tree that is nominated by the community. All trees must be located on public property. The town park was built in 2000 by The Clearwater Company.
