This year has been one of the most challenging times for the beloved trees in our parks. Summer storms, surging invasive pests, and contagious ecological diseases are posing a serious threat to the health of Pittsburgh’s trees. In fact, devastating insects like the Spotted Lanternfly and fungal diseases, such as oak wilt threaten more than 60% of our native tree population.
