Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is committed to a natural environment that maintains its native diversity, resiliance, and beauty. Because the works fo humankind must co-exist with nature, addressing the nexus between humans and nature is central to the purpose of Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.

In fact, our focus on connecting people to the natural world makes us rather unique among the broad spectrum of conservation and environmental organizations.

We connect people with nature through ecological research, watershed restoration and land conservation projects that involve individuals and organizations.

We connect people with nature by helping community volunteers plant urban gardens and green spaces.

At Fallingwater, we connect people with nature by showing that human activities can exist in harmony with nature.
