Join us for our annual meeting and lecture, as we celebrate our 40th anniversary! 

Our lecture will feature Clara Kitongo, Tree Pittsburgh's Tree Equity Manager. Clara and her team work with Pittsburgh's under-resourced communities to mobilize trees for urban renewal. Learn about policies and practices that have long perpetuated urban forest disparities across the city and how better policies and more urban trees can transform our city into a thriving metropolis that benefits everyone. 

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

Location: Mt Lebanon Public Library, Meeting Room A

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

Join Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy volunteers as we plant a memorial garden in memory of one of our board members, Trish Beckjord. Trish was a dear friend and board member at MLNC for several years. She was a passionate and dedicated advocate for conservation efforts and the importance of restoring ecological biodiversity through planting native species in our Parks. Trish created space for others and fostered their learning by sharing her time, talents, and extensive knowledge, for the betterment of her friends and community. Our native plant sale was Trish’s concept, she remained an integral part of its planning up until her passing. She will be fondly remembered in gardens, wildflowers, and wildlife.
