Help CSAC and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) add 19 new trees to the Perry South Greenway Entry Garden as part of the TreeVitalize Pittsburgh project. \nLearn about different types of native trees\, proper tree planting practices\, and tree care while making a difference in the Charles Street Valley during this 3 hour event. All are welcome to come out and volunteer. Food will be provided. We’ll be planting rain or shine! \nFor additional details\, please visit the WPC website. Be sure to register online as a volunteer ahead of the event! \n \n \nRegister Online\n\n \n \n\n\n\nWhy plant trees?\nThe Perry South Greenway Entry Garden was established by CSAC and our partners in Fall 2023. The first phase of the project included designing the landscape\, preparing the site\, and planting native shrubs and flowers. All existing trees on site were healthy and able to be preserved. \nThe next phase in our design plan includes adding native trees to establish a canopy and understory that will to add to the beauty and ecological diversity of the entry garden. \nCanopy trees are tall\, and provide a significant amount of shade. Understory trees are smaller\, and exist beneath a canopy alongside shrubs and other plants.  \nThese trees will provide food and cover for wildlife\, remove pollution from the air\, and help manage storm water — making our community a healthier place.

Whether in your backyard\, on your front sidewalk\, or in your neighborhood park\, shaping young trees through proper pruning practices will help them grow healthy and strong\, and prevent potential problems in the future. \n\n Kelsey Munsick from Tree Pittsburgh\n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\nDetails\nWe’ll be on the move during this event!

Refreshments and swag bags will be provided! \nThe stewardship work days on October 20 & 21\, 2023 build upon the planning\, design\, and site preparation work done by the Charles Street Area Corporation and its partners\, including Real Design\, Inc.\, Mistick Construction\, the Student Conservation Association\, and the City of Pittsburgh. \nFuture phases of work will include adding trees\, signage\, and lighting to the entry garden.

Native plants also require less maintenance than non-native ones. \nNative Plants Include: \n \n \n\nHobblebush (Viburnum lantanoides) \nAllegheny Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) \nWinterberry (Ilex verticillata) \nJoe-Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum) \nAND MORE!
