“He that plants trees loves others beside himself.” – Thomas Fuller

Many choose to support our restorative tree fund in Pittsburgh’s parks. Here are some common reasons people donate to our tree fund:

• In tribute of someone you respect, love, or admire
• To celebrate a birth, birthday, or marriage
• In recognition of a life change, or achievement
• As a gesture of community service
• In memory of someone who has passed away

Our Horticulture and Forestry Team works to nurture and protect the green spaces we love. Whether planting new trees, shrubs, and flowers or investigating new destructive insects and diseases, our gardens and parks require year-round maintenance and the utmost care.

Best planting practices dictate that trees are planted in Spring and Fall. Commemorative trees (including ones with ceremonies) donated after February 15 will be held and planted in November and trees donated after August 15 will be held and planted in April.
