Help Tree Pittsburgh and SHUC take care of the 11 Dawn Redwoods planted on Allderdice’s lawn! Thanks to the commitment of our volunteers over the past few years, the trees will only need to be watered 1x per week this summer. Watering does not have to be done on a specific day of the week, but it’s important that the waterings are spaced about a week apart. If you have questions, please contact info@shuc.org. Thank you for helping us look after our trees!
