Secretary
Perry Recker
Board member starting 2024
Perry is a retired college librarian (Pitt, 1986) and longtime environmental and social justice advocate with a special interest in community development. He retired from library work in 2015 when he and his wife, Barbara, moved back to the Pittsburgh area from Illinois. While living in Jefferson Borough, Perry volunteered with the Robertson Arboretum and became a Tree Tender. When Barbara retired, they moved to Regent Square in 2019, and soon took up gardening in 2 empty lots next to their apartment on the end of La Clair Avenue. Perry has been a volunteer member of the Swissvale Shade Tree Advisory Committee (SSTAC), and sees tree care, gardening, and the development of urban tree canopies as a small but significant effort to reduce some of the negative effects of climate change.
