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

Manchester and Chateau

Ele­vat­ed sur­face tem­per­a­ture, low­er tree canopy cov­er, and the poten­tial to increase engage­ment are all con­cerns when look­ing at Man­ches­ter and Chateau. Chateau has the low­est tree canopy cov­er in the city at 5%, com­pared to Pittsburgh’s city-wide tree canopy cov­er of 42%. Man­ches­ter has a cur­rent tree canopy cov­er of 17%. In 2010, a Land­sat satel­lite ther­mal image showed Man­ches­ter had the hottest sur­face tem­per­a­ture of any neigh­bor­hood in the city. Pittsburgh’s aver­age tem­per­a­ture is 96.6°F, while Man­ches­ter is 102.4°F and Chateau’s sur­face tem­per­a­ture 101.4°F.
