Western Pennsylvania is amazingly rich with wildlife, miles of rivers and
streams and lush forested ridges and valleys.

We’re here to protect them.  But we can’t do it without you.

PROTECT OUR PLACES

We restore Western Pennsylvania’s local rivers and streams. This means clean water -- for wildlife to thrive, for people to drink, places to fish and paddle.

You may have visited a place we've protected. Ohiopyle, McConnells Mill, Raccoon Creek, and Erie Bluffs are just a few of the 11 state parks we helped create. We’ve protected more than 285,000 acres of Western Pennsylvania's special places – forests, meadows, farmlands and more – forever.

WILDLIFE

Our scientists study the region’s rare and endangered plants and animals to guide our land and water conservation efforts.

 

VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS

With our volunteers, we create gardens and green places that bring nature into cities and towns across 20 counties.
We plant trees in neighborhoods and parks that capture stormwater, provide shade and make communities more vibrant.
We create green spaces where schoolchildren learn and play.

 

FALLINGWATER

We care for Fallingwater – a place that inspires visitors from around the world; a symbol of people living in harmony with nature.
