We host yearly neighborhood cleanups with support from the community and especially Mike Sturges. Sign up for the green committee newsletter to find out when the next cleanup happens!

Allegheny River Greenway

What if you could walk from your house to Bulldog pub through the woods?

Or better yet, the river or zoo? This is the dream that drives us to build and maintain the Allegheny River Greenway. A greenway that connects neighborhoods, stabilizes the hillside, and becomes a natural resource for all to enjoy.

We have been working with Councilwoman Deb Gross’s office to build a map of the current greenway, and what still needs protected. We need your help to continue this project!

There is also an engagepgh website that we are still trying to be added to, more details to follow there.

Tree Plantings

As part of our Allegheny River Greenway work we have organized multiple tree plantings throughout the years. Here’s a list of a few!

  • 54th St Steps Fruit Trees

  • 55th Paper St Fruit Trees

  • Kelly Field Trees (shade and fruit)
