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.
The Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy has many nature-based programs, volunteer work days, a native plant sale and more. To learn about our events, please see our list of events.
School in the Park - Year 42!
May 11, May 12, May 13, May 14, May 18, May 20
3rd grade students from Jefferson, Foster, Hoover, Markham, Howe, Lincoln and Washington
School in the Park, a program of the Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy in partnership with the Mt. Lebanon School District and the Municipality, began in 1984 and we are pleased to continue this tradition.
It is an interactive nature discovery program for Mt. Lebanon’s 3rd grade students held each spring in Bird Park. The program’s activities support the school district’s third grade science curriculum and provide an opportunity for students to learn about native plants and animals in their woodland habitats and their connections among all living things.
School in the Park is staffed entirely by volunteer instructors from the Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy, the community, and high school students. Most of these high school volunteers are graduates of the School in the Park Program themselves!

Riparian Area
This year we plan to rehabilitate the stream area “between the big bridges” in Twin Hills!
Please join us as we improve the site’s ecology by removing invasive plants in March and September, and planting native species in April, May and October.
LeboNature Board member wins Community
Service Award
We are incredibly proud of our longtime board member and VP of Projects, Ron Block, for being honored with this year’s Community Service Award! We can't think of anyone more deserving!
His steady leadership and dedication over the past 20 years - from planning restoration projects, to planting trees that will provide shade, beauty and ecological value for generations, to inspiring our youth toward environmental stewardship - is truly admirable, and we are profoundly grateful to have him as an integral part of our team!
The award winner is selected annually by the Mt. Lebanon Civic Engagement Board, and supported by the Commission.

Bonus activity! We invite you to bring an item for a “Fill a Nest” gift box in support of Humane Animal Rescue’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. LeboNature is supporting this organization because several members of Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy’s board have delivered injured or sick wild creatures there for care, including some birds. Let’s give back!
