TreeVitalize Pittsburgh is looking for volunteers to help plant 30 trees in McKeesport this Saturday, a spokeswoman said.

Volunteers will help plant 10 trees in Renziehausen Park, six along Sixth Avenue and 14 along Market Street.

Trees are selected that are slower-growing, native to Pennsylvania, compatible with an urban environment and safe around sidewalks and overhead utility lines, according to TreeVitalize’s website.

TreeVitalize Pittsburgh is a project of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, Allegheny County Parks, the City of Pittsburgh, Tree Pittsburgh and the state Department of Conservation & Natural Resources.

Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. Saturday at 500 Market St.

To register, contact Alicia Wehrle at awehrle@paconserve.org or 412-586-2386, or visit the Water Land Life website.
