Community Greening

Thanks to hundreds of generous partners, more than 11,000 dedicated volunteers and widespread community support, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy’s Community Greening program continues to work to green, beautify and enhance our region’s communities.

We’ve been doing this important work since the 1970s, including planting flower and vegetable gardens and street trees, creating green spaces and natural stormwater solutions, hanging flower baskets and installing street planters in downtown Pittsburgh, and providing outdoor green space improvements for school children. We believe greening communities are important components to the quality of life for residents and to spur community action, pride and economic revitalization.

Because of the generosity and collaboration of our members, volunteers, funders and sponsors, our impact is tangible. Together, we’re making a difference and helping to make Western Pennsylvania a greener and more sustainable place to live and raise a family.
