Today, Tree Pittsburgh had the honor of hosting USDA @u.s.forestservice Chief Randy Moore and @padcnr Secretary Cindy Dunn at our campus on the Allegheny River. Chief Moore and Secretary Dunn took a tour of our Heritage Nursery and heard directly from partners invested in our tree canopy before speaking to a crowd about the importance of the urban forest and the work we’re doing here in Pittsburgh.
This day wasn’t just about us - it’s celebrating the collective $9 million invested in our region from the Bipartisan Infrastucture Law and Inflation Reduction Act. This is a huge investment in #FundingUrbanForestry and we couldn’t be prouder to partner with Pittsburgh Canopy Alliance members

Tree of the Week is here! We’re kicking off the series with the pawpaw: a Pittsburgh tree with fruit you’re unlikely to find at the grocery store.

Follow along for a new Pittsburgh tree each week.

As we celebrate 20 years, we're taking a look at how our campus helps us achieve our mission.

Much of our campus used to be full of invasive species and struggling trees. Now, with help from volunteers, youth, and scouts, we're making it a model for how riparian forestry can happen.

"It's really just a perfect example of what our entire riverfront could look like." – Danielle Crumrine, Executive Director

🎥 Watch the video for more on that and other interesting tidbits, including facts about our beloved pawpaw patch! 💚

🌳💚 PAWPAW FEST IS SOLD OUT! 💚🌳

We would love to have enough tickets for everyone interested to attend, but due to space limitations and to ensure the safety of all attendees, there will be NO tickets to Pawpaw Fest sold at the door.

We are blown away by the response and interest in the day and will use this knowledge for planning any future pawpaw events!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the enthusiasm and support for the beloved pawpaw tree and Tree Pittsburgh.

We believe some things are best learned by doing. September is Workforce Development Month, so we’re highlighting one of the ways Tree Pittsburgh helps people build skills for careers in the green industry. 💚

Through partnerships with @landforcepgh, @the_sca, and @bidwelltrainingcenter, participants work alongside Tree Pittsburgh staff in real community settings caring for young trees, pruning, planting, working in our nursery, managing invasive plants, using tools safely, and learning how to solve problems in the field.

We’re so proud to be a place where learning and opportunity meet, and where the skills people build help our trees and communities thrive. 🌳

Happy National Pawpaw Day!

Pawpaws are one of our favorite native trees, and for good reason. They produce North America’s largest native fruit, with a sweet, custardy flavor that’s often compared to banana, mango, and vanilla.

But pawpaws aren’t just delicious. Their trees are part of our region’s forests, providing habitat and supporting local ecosystems.

Our Pawpaw Fest might be sold out, but we hope you still get the chance to celebrate this delicious fruit this year! by @treepgh

Alex Antonucci is no stranger to the benefits of a healthy urban forest. As a therapist and owner of @waxwing_wellness, he sees the effects of trees (and even the color green!) can have on his patients.

That’s part of the reason Alex donates 1% of all Waxwing Wellness profits to Tree Pittsburgh. Alex is also a dedicated Tree Tender, even bringing his children out to tree care events to pick up trash!

His generosity, both financial and of his time, helps support our mission to grow and protect the urban forest right here in Allegheny County. Alex encourages other businesses to join him in donating 1% of their profits to nonprofits like Tree Pittsburgh. As he says, no amount is too small to make a difference.

Thank you for your generosity, Alex! Visit treepittsburgh.org to learn how you can get involved.

Tree Adoption registrations are open now! Register today at treepittsburgh.org/tree-adoptions

Please remember that these registrations fill up very quickly due to high demand! We also give many selected low-canopy communities early access to registration before we release them to the public. This is part of our work to ensure everyone has equal access to the benefits trees provide.

We always encourage you to come to the end of an event to pick up any trees that remain unclaimed.
