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.
2026 Year in Review - Thank you for your support and participation!
We are proud of all our programs and projects, including the annual School in the Park program, our Native Plant Sale, and our ambitious park improvement projects.
In 2026, we worked with Mt. Lebanon to become certified as a Bird Town PA, and won a grant from Eaton Charitable Fund to underwrite a woodland rehabilitation project at the Twin Hills Park riparian area.
Our activities are extensive and varied, as you see in the list below. Our first-time endeavors are listed in bold.

2027 MLK Day of Service: Winter Seed Sowing
Monday, Jan. 18, 2027, 9-noon
Mt. Lebanon High School
Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy is leading an interactive workshop on winter seed sowing as part of Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service sponsored by Mt. Lebanon’s Community Engagement Advisory Board.
You can help improve our community’s ecology and resilience by growing native plants that best serve native pollinators, birds and critters. At this workshop, you’ll sow seeds that will germinate when the weather warms. You’ll leave the workshop with a recycled container of sown native seeds. Your plants will be ready to go into the ground in the spring, and you can plant them in your own garden or join the Conservancy to plant the seedlings in our parks. Seeds, soil and containers provided.
The workshop will take place at Mt. Lebanon High School. Sign up via the municipality’s interest form, coming soon.
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.
Thank you!
