ReLeaf Duquesne

A Plan for a Healthier and Greener Neighborhood

The ReLeaf Duquesne plan aims to improve residents’ quality of life by providing a roadmap and a priority list of projects to increase the neighborhood’s tree canopy and resident participation in tree care and educational activities. Follow along to see progress and get involved.

Tree Pittsburgh is partnering with the City of Duquesne to provide additional trees and care for their existing trees. The City approached Tree Pittsburgh for support with their mature tree maintenance after storms took down large canopy trees that damaged cars in the City. Subsequent work has included an assessment of the mature and hazardous trees in selected areas in the City. ReLeaf Duquesne will support these and additional goals for the City, including educational activities for residents and various beautification projects that will make a significant impact on the City.

About ReLeaf

Tree Pittsburgh believes that everyone has a right to enjoy trees and the physical, mental, and social benefits they provide. Pittsburgh has an overall tree canopy of 42%, but this cover is not equally distributed. The ReLeaf Program is a necessary step to rectify these discrepancies and ensure all residents experience the benefits of a thriving urban forest. We concentrate our efforts on neighborhoods with insufficient tree canopy — which leads to heightened summer temperatures exacerbated by heat island challenges, compromised air quality, and localized flooding or stormwater runoff issues.
