Committee Chair: Gary Crouth

Street trees in the business district have been a priority since 2007 when SHUC first began planting on Forbes.  Attempts to plant Murray have been more difficult but there have been some successes with private property owners, Giant Eagle and Brandywine Agency for example.

A TreeVitalize application is submitted by SHUC twice a year to secure funding for spring and fall plantings in our residential areas and in the business district.  The City Forester applies for trees in our parks.

SHUC coordinates with the various parks groups, the City Forrester and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy on maintaining the health of our Squirrel HiIl parks.
