It’s great to work with other people who are passionate about their community, and you build a strong bond with them through the hands-on work of volunteer events.

If you enjoy doing yard work, being active and doing physical labor, and meeting new people, you can’t go wrong with volunteering at a WPC garden! It’s the perfect volunteer opportunity! Definitely do it!

I love the instant gratification of planting a big a tree in our neighborhood, and the pride I feel every time I see that tree.
Bill and Donna Fitzpatrick
One of the things we’ve enjoyed most about working at Bear Run and Fallingwater is that the Conservancy invests in its volunteers and makes us feel a part of the organization.

Preservation of high-value sites, maintenance of reasonable public access and the comradeship of working with like-minded people keeps me energized and involved.
Leslie and Walt Krater
We have formed many friendships, and are always learning something new from both the staff and fellow volunteers, a lot of which we can apply to working on our own property.
Yvette Nelson
It’s easy to stay motivated because Fallingwater is simply a magnificent place! The architecture and the setting engage all my senses, which makes Fallingwater 'my happy place'.

The mission of WPC and Fallingwater is so important to protect and preserve our natural and architectural wonders.

We all had a sense of accomplishment after planting many trees, and we look forward to seeing them grow.

I enjoy the physical work and meeting like-minded people who want to change the urban landscape and tree canopy in Pittsburgh.

People are always appreciative and express their thanks in many ways. One year there were painted rocks put in my gardens!
Charlie Spence
The thing I enjoy most about volunteering with WPC is working with a garden in a heavily polluted location that, despite the odds, thrives every single year, and provides a bright spot in an otherwise gritty industrial area.
Denise Taylor
It’s nice when someone beeps or stops to say how nice the garden is looking and how much they appreciate it.
