Pittsburgh begins hunt for this year's Christmas tree
If you’re already starting to think about what you’ll get everyone for Christmas this year, you might want to consider adding the city of Pittsburgh to your list.
The Forestry Division of the Pittsburgh Public Works Department is looking for a resident who is willing to donate a giant evergreen for the city to display as its Christmas tree this year.
The tree needs to be between 40-feet and 60-feet tall.
Our Forestry Division needs your help!
Do you have a 40’ - 60’ evergreen on your property? We’re looking for #Pittsburgh’s 104th Christmas Tree! We’ll pick it up and deliver it to the historic City-County Building.
Call 412-665-3625 or @Pgh311 to let us know. ?➡️? pic.twitter.com/UDqUkVW8Hx
