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.
Bird Park Stiltgrass Removal
Saturday, Aug. 16, 9 a.m.- 12 p.m.
Meet at the Beadling parking lot. If the lot is full, park on a nearby side-street.
Sign up HERE!
Please join our efforts to improve Bird Park. We need to pull invasive stiltgrass before it goes to seed and becomes even more of a problem. We hope we can also do a health check, which means checking an area for any new growth by invasive plants we’ve tried to eradicate.
Please wear long pants and sleeves, and actual shoes (not flipflops) for tick and poison ivy protection. Bring water, gloves, loppers, clippers and/or saws.
All activities are weather permitting.

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.
