GWA Story Tour

**P* G* <p*@landscapedesignstudio.com>**

Hello all,
If you are attending the GWA symposium in Pittsburgh and will be in town on Friday morning, you are invited to join me for the Pittsburgh River Restoration tree tour on bikes. Here are the details:

Over the last decade Pittsburgh’s riverfronts have become a hub of activity for recreation, ecological restoration, and commuting. Join GWA member Phyllis Gricus along with staff members from both Tree Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania Conservancy on the GWA story ride. 

This will be a two hour, easy to moderate ride on mostly flat trails and roads. Bikes, helmets, locks and water will be provided. Limited to twenty-five participants. Sign up early.

Tour Highlights:

Landscape enhancements along the Allegheny and Monongahela riverfronts
Corridor plantings in downtown Pittsburgh
A loop around Point State Park to view over two acres of restored woodlands and cool cool off in the spray of the fountain—a dramatic focal point of the city skyline.

Meet: 8:15  Lobby of the Westin 
Depart: 9:00 am from Golden Triangle bike rental
Return: 11:00 am to Golden Triangle bike rental

We’ll meet in the lobby of our host hotel for a short walk to Golden Triangle Bike rental which is located at 600 1st Avenue. There, we will be outfitted with great new bikes, helmets, locks and water bottles and support services. Tandem bikes are available too. You may make your reservation online at: http://www.bikepittsburgh.com/bikes-and-rates

Cost: $20.00
