About StepKeepers Interest

Pittsburgh has around 800 sets of public city steps, some of which suffer from illegal dumping and invasive species overgrowth. Many of these staircases are critical pieces of infrastructure for pedestrians, but these obstacles can make the stairways more difficult and less appealing to use. Our StepKeeper program works to rehabilitate particular steps by conducting initial cleanups, removing invasive species and replanting natives, and repainting railings. ACW and Landforce work in conjunction to identify staircases and improve them.  


Thanks to generous funding from the Garden Club of Allegheny County and the Clean Pittsburgh Commission, we have been able to provide initial cleanup support to 10 staircases.
