ReLeaf Neighborhood Plans and Updates Released

 In Blog, ReLeaf

Tree Pitts­burgh is pleased to announce the release of a ReLeaf plan for Greater Hazel­wood and “How Are We Doing?” updates for the already-exist­ing ReLeaf Lawrenceville and ReLeaf Man­ches­ter & Chateau plans.

ReLeaf is a plan­ning process and pro­gram that brings sup­port to the urban canopy on a neigh­bor­hood-lev­el scale. We work with low-canopy neigh­bor­hoods that want to chart a path toward a green­er com­mu­ni­ty. Togeth­er, we cre­ate a neigh­bor­hood-lev­el plan for grow­ing the community’s urban for­est, includ­ing tree plant­i­ng, young tree care, and edu­ca­tion to ensure long-term success.

The ReLeaf plan has four steps: What do we have?, What do we want?, How do we get there?, and How are we doing?.

Tree Pitts­burgh began work­ing with Greater Hazel­wood in 2021. In 2019, res­i­dents out­lined a desire to increase the tree canopy through­out the neigh­bor­hood and strength­en the qual­i­ty of the community’s green spaces. Tree Pitts­burgh, Hazel­wood Ini­tia­tive Inc., and oth­er part­ners worked togeth­er to ana­lyze exist­ing data, host meet­ings, con­duct pub­lic sur­veys, and cre­ate neigh­bor­hood goals to cre­ate the neighborhood’s first ReLeaf plan.

In 2014, Tree Pitts­burgh worked with res­i­dents and local stake­hold­ers to cre­ate the first neigh­bor­hood-lev­el urban for­est mas­ter plan, ReLeaf Lawrenceville. Tree Pitts­burgh staff again worked with the Lawrenceville com­mu­ni­ty to pro­vide an update to the plan, How Are We Doing, in 2022.
