Students for Saving the Ross Conservation Project

Join Allegheny Land Trust and students from North Hills & Shaler Area High Schools to support the 30-acre Ross Conservation Project.

Students from the schools' sustainability classes and clubs are collaborating to host this awareness & fundraising event to support saving 30 acres of critical woodlands in the highest elevation of the Girty's Run Watershed.

There will be food, music, crafts, and more! North Hills very own "The Spit Valves" band will be the headline musical performer, there will be crafts like seed ball making, pumpkin carving, and more!

Allegheny Land Trust staff will be on-site to introduce themselves, give a project summary and current status, and open the chat for questions.

PROJECT SUMMARY: ALT is working with community partners to acquire and permanently protect 30 acres of green space in Ross Township. This land has adjacency to the Township’s 31-acre Municipal Park, and sits at the highest point in the Girty’s Run Watershed.

Conserving this green space will preserve the character of this community, build resiliency, and provide expanded public recreational opportunities enhancing the quality of life for generations to come.
