Plant a tree in the parks and establish a legacy for generations to come.
Pittsburgh's park trees thrive because of the generosity of many individuals who give back and help the urban forest grow.
From commemorating life's greatest moments to honoring loved ones who are no longer with you, below are several common reasons people donate to support Pittsburgh's park trees:
- In tribute to 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
Did you know the best time to plant trees is 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 saved and planted in April.
