Alan Hunninen
Alan Hunninen grew up with a love of the natural world and architecture. As an architect, Alan found himself exploring Fallingwater and Bear Run Nature Reserve in the early 1970s. For nearly 40 years, he continued to bring his family and friends to the historic site and joined in the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy’s annual Members’ Day events at Bear Run. After retiring in 2011, Alan was able to use his architecture skills to help the Conservancy build and maintain hiking trails on its nature reserves across the region.
The following lists some of the ways you can volunteer at the Conservancy. We welcome volunteers to help in our community flower gardens, plant trees or maintain our preserves and trails, among other tasks. View a list of our current or upcoming volunteer opportunities and register for one today.
