We engage communities through volunteer programs and tree distributions, provide tree planting and maintenance, offer educational workshops and school programs, and advocate for policies that support urban forestry. We partner with local organizations, nonprofits, and government agencies to maximize our impact and foster a culture of environmental stewardship. Our Heritage Nursery grows thousands of hearty and native trees and shrubs that are planted across the county.

We operate in the City of Pittsburgh and municipalities throughout Allegheny County, focusing on enhancing the urban canopy in neighborhoods, parks, and public spaces. Our projects span various communities, with a specific focus on Environmental Justice/Justice40 zones and areas with significant canopy loss.

Canopy data shows that Allegheny County is losing 2% of its tree canopy every five years. We work toward a goal of no net loss through planting, preservation, and education to increase equitable access to the tree canopy and its numerous health, environmental, and economic benefits. We believe every tree is essential to urban life and climate resilience. A greener city creates more equitable and vital communities today and for future generations.
