Come lend a hand to the land and the birds!

As members of the Allegheny Bird Conservation Alliance, Allegheny Land Trust, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and Western Pennsylvania Conservancy have teamed up to improve bird habitat in Dead Man's Hollow Conservation Area, a 450-acre conservation area that provides significant habitat for forest interior-dwelling bird species.

As part of a plan to provide even better habitat for our winged friends, join fellow volunteers in restoration improvement through planting native trees and shrubs.

Water, snacks, and tools provided. Please bring your own reusable water bottle if possible.

Email Keri at krouse@alleghenylandtrust.org or call 412-741-2750x204 with questions about this event.
