Trees & Planting
Community-driven tree planting to enhance Pittsburgh’s urban forest
We plant and care for trees across Allegheny County with volunteers, nonprofit partners, and students! Through our Tree Adoption program, we’re providing residents with an opportunity to experience the benefits of trees right in their own yards.

Reforestation is an important part of increasing our urban tree canopy. Tree Pittsburgh’s reforestation program plants trees areas where natural growth has been hampered by non-native species, illegal dumping, or other disturbances.
