Panhandle Greenway Conservation Project

SUMMARY | Allegheny Land Trust and community partners are working together on the "Panhandle Greenway Conservation Project" - a landscape-scale effort to create an ecological, recreational, and place-making greenway unlike any in the region. Since launching the effort in 2023, we have successfully conserved 251 acres of green space (91 acres in Collier Township and 160 acres in South Fayette Township). THANK YOU to all who supported the first phases of this effort.

CURRENT EFFORTS | ALT currently has two projects in the works to continue growing this greenway - one parcel that would expand Settlers Cabin Park and another that would protect the Panhandle Trail corridor.

  • Expand Settlers Cabin Park | We have 30 acres of green space under contract in Collier Township. Conserving this land would expand Settlers Cabin Park and continue ALT's efforts to proactively conserve green space to create a greenway. Our deadline to raise the necessary funds is December 2025, and we'll need your help! Learn more here.
  • Protect the Panhandle Trail | We also have 42 acres of green space under contract in South Fayette Township. Conserving this land would protect the experience of the popular Panhandle Trail. This land's protection would protect critical shade, scenic character, noise buffering, and wildlife habitat along the trail. Our deadline to raise the necessary funds, and we'll need your help! Learn more here.

We hope you'll choose to support these projects as they continue our success in creating the Panhandle Greenway. We hope you'll share these projects with your neighbors, family, and friends. Together, let's conserve close-to-home green space to improve the quality of life for us all!
