Helping local people save local land

This “is a wonderful parcel to help expand this unique urban park and greenway that provides trails, maintains scenic landscapes and helps to manage stormwater and air quality.  Pittsburgh’s reputation as a green city just got a little bit greener.”

Improved and Restored Parks – City Parks within the park will be enhanced, ensuring their ongoing maintenance and increasing their active community use.

Green Space and Trails – Green and open spaces of the park will be preserved and protected, both for future generations and for current residents and visitors to enjoy.

Hillside Restoration and Management – Sound ecological practices will help stabilize hillsides, provide habitats for native plants and wildlife, and maintain attractive views to, from and within the park.
