The Western PA Conservancy is now accepting applications for spring 2021 tree plantings under the TreeVitalize Pittsburgh Program. The deadline for applications is August 7.

Did you know that planting a shade tree can increase business? Or that planting a tree within 50 feet of a house increases property value by nine percent?

In order for your TreeVitalize Pittsburgh Spring 2021 application to be considered, you must contact Jeff Bergman, director of community forestry and TreeVitalize Pittsburgh, at 412-586-2396 or jbergman@paconserve.org,  by August 7.
