Tree Pittsburgh and One Tree Per Child are here to help you plant trees and have fun, one tree and one student at a time. Over the next two planting seasons (Spring and Fall of 2022), Tree Pittsburgh will be engaging schools in tree planting efforts through the One Tree Per Child program. It’s easy to participate, and funding may be available to support your planting efforts!
