Our Vision for the Future
The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy will continue to focus its energies on conserving the region’s exceptional places. WPC seeks to safeguard Western Pennsylvania’s most important natural areas that are yet to be conserved; to continue to bring gardens and green spaces into our communities; and to preserve Fallingwater as a magnificent example of living in harmony with nature.
WPC helps conserve places such as Prince Gallitzin State Park.

During this decade, the Conservancy will:
- • Conserve 50,000 acres of natural lands containing forests, ridges and valleys – lands of such significant conservation value that they merit and require protection;
- • Restore and protect 1,500 miles of creeks and streams, to improve public health, enhance recreational opportunities and preserve habitat for fish and other wildlife;
- • Connect people to nature by planting 20,000 trees across the region and establishing endowment funding for community gardens; and
- • Sustain Fallingwater by building its endowment, carrying out the preservation required to maintain this iconic example of organic architecture and expanding on-site educational opportunities.
The Conservancy values each and every generous contribution to the Our Shared Legacy campaign. Our success will be our collective legacy, a testament to foresight and commitment to the natural resources entrusted to us.
