TreeVitalize Pittsburgh

Tree­Vi­tal­ize is pro­gram cre­at­ed by the Penn­syl­va­nia Depart­ment of Con­ser­va­tion and Nat­ur­al Resources (DCNR). The pro­gram launched in Pitts­burgh in the spring of 2008 with Alleghe­ny Coun­ty Parks, City of Pitts­burgh, Tree Pitts­burgh, and West­ern Penn­syl­va­nia Con­ser­van­cy as part­ners lead­ing the effort to plant 20,000 trees in Alleghe­ny County.

In the Fall of 2013, the part­ners cel­e­brat­ed plant­i­ng the 20,000th tree near Point State Park. A large swamp white oak (Quer­cus bicol­or) was plant­ed in the medi­an near the park.
