Join Tree Pitts­burgh for a sym­po­sium on the future of conifers in our region.

Region­al experts will come togeth­er to share the state of our conifer species, threat pre­dic­tions for our pro­ject­ed cli­mate sce­nar­ios, and rec­om­men­da­tions on nur­tur­ing the next gen­er­a­tion of conifers, includ­ing seed sourc­ing and species selection.

The sym­po­sium will help to inform a cli­mate adap­ta­tion plan focused on conifer reten­tion for Alleghe­ny Coun­ty — a larg­er effort made pos­si­ble through the gen­er­ous sup­port of the Richard King Mel­lon Foundation.

Who should attend? Con­ser­va­tion orga­ni­za­tions, land trusts, munic­i­pal parks and forestry staff, and oth­er part­ners in tree plant­i­ng and tree care; tree grow­ers and retail­ers; tree care pro­fes­sion­als; arboretums/botanical gar­dens; stu­dents and edu­ca­tors; and/or tree enthusiasts.

Reg­is­tra­tion includes:
— Light break­fast and lunch at our sym­po­sium venue, Team­sters Hall
— Refresh­ments and nurs­ery tour at an evening recep­tion from 5:00–8:00 p.m. at Tree Pittsburgh’s cam­pus (32 62nd St, Pitts­burgh PA 15201)
