Urban Forest Committee

Monthly Meeting

6:30 p.m.

The Children's Institute

The Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition recently created this committee to follow up on the January 10th meeting with the City's Public Works Department regarding the tree removal program. The committee will be meeting monthly with representatives of the community, the Shade Tree Commission, and Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest. The committee's mission is to not only maintain the 14th Ward's trees and replant in areas that were devastated by the recent removals, but also to pressure the City of Pittsburgh to create a comprehensive policy regarding the planting, pruning, and removal of trees city-wide.

Please be on the lookout for a new web page devoted to this committee!
