Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest is an environmental non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the City's vitality and to being part of the solution to global warming by restoring and protecting City trees.

Our vision is to be a leader in creating a healthy, attractive and safe urban forest by inspiring and engaging citizens to maintain, plant and protect trees. Taking care of our trees will improve our quality of life by maximizing the substantial environmental, social and economic benefits that trees provide.
