For Tree Pittsburgh, I do it all. I serve as webmaster, marketing coordinator, social media manager, and press relations (and squirrel mascot wrangler, but that’s another story for another time).

This year’s press strategy was two-fold: to continue to emphasize the canopy loss reported in 2018, and to capitalize on any opportunities to feature the organization’s new energy efficient campus located on the Allegheny River.
