ReLeaf Glassport
A Plan for a Healthier and Greener Neighborhood
The ReLeaf Glassport 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.
Glassport Borough has been seeking ways to revitalize its business district, and they’re looking to trees to support that initiative! Tree Pittsburgh is collaborating with the Borough Council and the Development Corporation to develop a plan to deliver the economic, social, and health benefits of trees to Glassport.

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.
