Caretaking new greenery at schools depends on all of us. You can help us sustain the green spaces that connect our children to nature for years to come by volunteering to become a ‘School Tender’.

‘School Tenders’ are volunteers who help care for the new plants provided by WPC at Pittsburgh Public Schools. A School Tender’s duties consist of three simple steps:

1) Watering
2) Weeding
3) Regular monitoring of plants

No horticultural experience is necessary! Becoming a School Tender is an easy way to gain volunteer hours and make a significant contribution to the school and surrounding community.

For more information on how to get involved, please call (412)586-2416 or email SchoolGreening@paconserve.org.
