Harry Morrison


Harry Morrison, a longtime Conservancy member and volunteer from Greensburg, Pa., says his love of the outdoors led to his involvement with WPC. Climate change, water quality and the importance of urban tree canopy are just some issues that drive his interest in and support of WPC’s land stewardship and community forestry work as well as efforts to preserve Fallingwater.

Became a Member/Donor in 2003

What is your career?

For the first half of my career, I worked in research and development for two local corporations. I then joined the faculty of a small college and taught computer science and mathematics for two-plus decades.

How did you learn about WPC?

I have participated in outdoor activities and cycling for most of my life. People I met through those interests introduced me to WPC.

What motivates you to stay involved?

Over the years I have become acquainted with a number of members of the WPC staff. I deeply believe in the work they are doing and want to continue to support that work to the extent I can.

What other active measures do you take to support conservation or WPC’s work?

I have volunteered as a land steward and at Waterfront Drive (WPC’s headquarters) for many years.

What might we be surprised to know about you?
I taught at the American School in Alexandria Egypt in 1973-74.
