2002
Tree Distribution Program
On
October 4 and 5, 2002, PA CleanWays of Allegheny County distributed
1,197 native trees provided through the PA CleanWays—State tree distribution
program to groups and individuals for planting in public areas. Groups
requesting more than 50 trees traveled directly to the tree bank in
Yukon, Westmoreland County, to receive their approved allotment. For
quantities less than 50, groups picked up their trees at the Pittsburgh
Parks Conservancy—Schenley Park Visitors' Center.
A
round of applause to the three volunteers who volunteered eight or more
hours of help with this year's tree program: Danielle Crumrine and Dave
Pawlicki (pictured, above right) and Paul Popp.
