Kids plant trees, change neighborhoods
A program in Pittsburgh called One Tree Per Child helps children plant trees in public spaces, fostering community involvement and environmental awareness. The initiative, started in Australia and brought to the city about a decade ago, has led to hundreds of trees being planted. Participants learn about tree care and the benefits of greenery, such as reducing heat and managing stormwater. The effort encourages young people to take active roles in addressing climate challenges through tangible, local action.
Children in Pittsburgh are planting trees through the One Tree Per Child Program, which helps improve their neighborhoods.
