Earth Day Appreciation

To everyone who contributed to your parks on Earth Day...

Thank you!

The Allegheny County Parks Foundation celebrates our planet every day by working to preserve your nine county parks. Your contributions help us improve, conserve and restore all nine Allegheny County parks. They help us plant trees and wildflowers, remove invasive species, monitor stream water and dream big with projects like the Sculpture Garden at Hartwood Acres.

Thanks to you - and to Jamini Vincent Davies, a lifelong lover of the parks, who generously matched every contribution dollar for dollar - we reached our highest total for Earth Day.

FedEx Cares about the Allegheny County Parks

We're grateful to everyone from FedEx Ground who came out to help at a recent volunteer project at Harrison Hills Park.

The volunteers removed invasive species along hiking trails during this outing. Left unchecked, these nuisance plants can impede access to trails and choke out healthy native plants. Allegheny County Park Rangers instruct volunteers on how to use tools, safe practices in the park, species identification and removal techniques.

The Allegheny County Parks Foundation partners with Allegheny County Parks on volunteer events such as these, which usually take place in the spring and fall. In addition to removing invasive species, volunteers plant native trees, bushes and perennials. All volunteer activities are designed to improve the ecology of the nine parks.

We determine where to concentrate these efforts by conducting assessments of the ecological assets and vulnerabilities of the parks. To date, the Parks Foundation, in partnership with Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, has completed ecological assessment in six parks: Boyce, Hartwood Acres, Round Hill, Settlers Cabin, South Park and White Oak.

We are pleased to announce a seventh assessment that the Caroline Fredricka Holdship Charitable Trust is funding an assessment of Harrison Hills Park. Meetings will begin shortly to plan this important project, which can take up to a year to complete.

Pretty posies...and more!
