🌳Just a sneak peek of what you`ll see at the tree planting ceremony tomorrow evening at Nafasi on Centre!
This Arbor Day, the City of Pittsburgh is planting a Magnolia Tree in the Hill District. Joined by Tree Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, the Hill CDC and community partners, the planting will support the community-led planning and design efforts currently underway. Mayor Ed Gainey will offer remarks during the event.
In February, a design charrette brought together the City Forestry Department, Tree Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Zoo, the Most Worshipful Hiram Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M., Hill CDC, Amani Christian CDC, Nafasi resident artists, and local residents. In March, the Hill CDC visited students at Weil Elementary who shared their ideas and vision for how the space could support play and creativity.
The City Forestry Department purchased the magnolia tree which will be planted in the Hill District as a symbol of growth, connection, and natural beauty.
