"We're putting the saying, 'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is now,' to action. We are eager to do our part by planting 412 trees with our community," co-owners Christian and Aaron Kinkela said in a press release.
At 644 acres, Frick Park is Pittsburgh's largest historic regional park, the conservancy says.
