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.
Project: Twin Hills Riparian Area Planting
Sunday, Oct. 25, 9-12
Meet at Twin Hills Drive entrance to the park
Throughout 2026, we are improving a riparian zone along the stream in Twin Hills.
Today, we will be planting 50 native trees and shrubs on about 0.3 acre around the lower (zigzag) bridge. This is the area where volunteers cleared away invasive shrubs in September.
Meet at the Twin Hills Drive entrance. Bring a shovel if you have one, and wear tough gloves or borrow some from us. Dress for the weather.
Sign up here! We will contact you if weather affects our plans. You could also sign up for a park clean-up project on Nov. 14.
Our 2026 Spotlight Project
Twin Hills Park Riparian Area
This year we are rehabilitating the stream area “between the big bridges” in Twin Hills!
Please join us as we improve the site’s ecology by removing invasive plants and adding native species. We will plant the Phase 2 area Oct. 25.

Annual Meeting Event: Film Screening & Discussion
Sunday, Nov. 1, 2-4 p.m.
Mt. Lebanon Public Library, Meeting Room A
Join us for a film screening of “The Extraordinary Caterpillar” as part of our annual event.
We’ll watch and discuss this award-winning documentary about the smallest inhabitants in our gardens, and the important role they play in the ecosystem. The film features amazing images and unique insights from the scientific community. The event will start with a brief review of LeboNature’s eventful year.
After the film, stay for conversation and light refreshments. This is a great time to mingle, meet like-minded people and learn how you can get involved!
EVENT IS FREE AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME. Suitable for adults and young adults. No registration is required.
Program: Green Reads Book discussion
Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 7-8 p.m.
Mt. Lebanon Public Library, Meeting Room B
Join the Green Reads Book Group to discuss George: A Magpie Memoir by Frieda Hughes. Ask at the Mt. Lebanon Library Circulation Desk in October.
The book, illustrated by the author, details the challenges and joys of caring for an abandoned baby magpie in the Welsh countryside. Hughes rears and befriends the intelligent and unruly George while navigating personal struggles, including a failing marriage. A humorous and poignant memoir, the book explores themes of love, loss, and healing through Hughes’s deep bond with the bird.
Green Reads co-hosted by the library and Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy, focuses on books related to nature, conservation, and environmental action.

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!
