We work to promote the enhancement, growth and careful use of Mt. Lebanon’s green space parks - BIRD PARK, TWIN HILLS AND ROBB HOLLOW - and to foster an appreciation of and respect for the environment.

Film Screening & Panel Discussion

(Annual Event)

  • Sunday Nov. 2, 1:30-3:30

  • Mt. Lebanon Public Library, Meeting Room A

Join us for a film screening of ‘Seeing the Unseen: Aquatic Invaders & What's At Stake’ and a panel discussion as part of our annual event. After a brief review of the Conservancy’s year, watch this short award winning documentary, produced by Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and shot right here in Pennsylvania!

A panel of experts will discuss the film and answer questions. Panelists include Natalie Drozda (Mt Lebanon Nature Conservancy Board), Amy Jewitt (Pennsylvania iMapInvasives Program Coordinator, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy), and Sara Stahlman (Extension Leader with PA Sea Grant).

Light refreshments will be served after the panel, so stay and chat with Board members, and learn how you can get involved!

Event is free and open to the public. Suitable for adults and young adults. No registration is required.

How you can help Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy

  • Click on the “donate” button to make a contribution online. Sustaining donations (posted monthly to your credit card) help us the most because they even out the cash flow of our small non-profit organization.

  • Send a check donation, made out to “Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy,” to: P.O. Box 14901, Pittsburgh, PA 15243. Checks minimize the fees we pay for online processing.

  • We also highly value the time that volunteers give through the year. Hundreds of people join in to help weed, clip, haul or plant. We welcome other volunteer help, such as working with us to develop new programs; staffing booths at events like Mt. Lebanon’s Earth Day; doing some printing or photocopying; or contributing photographs that we can post to social media or our website.
