Pittsburgh selected to participate in Reforestation Hubs initiative

Pittsburgh selected to participate in Reforestation Hubs initiative

January 12, 2021
The City of Pittsburgh has been selected by Cambium Carbon in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation as one of four cities nationally to receive a "Reforestation Hub" assessment, which includes the development of a pilot project geared toward improving resource efficiency and carbon capture at the municipal level with the Department of City Planning Office of Sustainability & Resilience, Department of Public Works Forestry Division, and community partners.
These projects will lay the groundwork for a circular urban forestry system that will include urban wood reuse and carbon credits to finance healthy forests, restoration of public lands, and the recovery and expansion of the tree canopy.

Pittsburgh is one of four cities chosen as a Reforestation Hub to help our urban trees

Pittsburgh is one of four cities chosen as a Reforestation Hub to help our urban trees
In 2014, National Geographic analyzed American cities’ urban tree cover — and found that Pittsburgh came out on top, with 42% tree cover. This “expanded urban forest removes 532 tons of air pollution every year,” noted the study.
Since then, the City of Pittsburgh has dropped to an estimated 41% tree cover, due to pests, invasive species like the emerald ash borer, disease, and lack of maintenance. American cities as a whole lose an average of 36 million trees a year.
Now the good news: Pittsburgh has been selected by Cambium Carbon and the Arbor Day Foundation as one of four cities to become a “Reforestation Hub.” The group will work with the Department of Public Works’ Forestry Division.

With the holiday season coming to a close, we are left with live Christmas trees that need to be thrown away. This year, instead of placing the tree on the curb to be sent to a landfill, you can recycle it at five drop-off locations throughout the city until Jan. 26.
After collection, the trees will be chipped into pine mulch and made available to the public for free next spring. Before dropping off trees, please remove all decorations and tree stands.
Last year, Pittsburgh collected more than 109 tons of trees. This year, the Department of Public Works’ Forestry Division and Bureau of Environmental Services will offer the service again as part of the city’s Climate Action Plan 3.0, which defines milestones for keeping materials out of landfills.
