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 Prep-for-Planting
Saturday, Sept. 13, 9 a.m.- 12 p.m. We welcome volunteers for any portion of time!
Meet at the Beadling parking lot. If the lot is full, park on a nearby side-street.

In order to plant trees in October, we have prep work to tackle in September. Join us in Bird Park as we clear the way for fall plantings. This will involve removing invasive shrubs and vines, and stacking brush to make room for new trees.
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.
