The TreeVitalize Pittsburgh program’s street tree plantings help the Western PA Conservancy and its partners meet the goals of Pittsburgh’s 10-year Street Tree Management Plan.

The plan is based on tree inventory data collected in 2014 and helps guide the work to increase the street tree population.  The Program does this work through new plantings, replacing trees that have been removed because of age or health reasons, and filling vacant tree planting sites.

The Fall 2020 TreeVitalize applications are now available for the City of Pittsburgh or Allegheny County.
