Urban EcoSteward Program

The Urban EcoSteward program is coordinated by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, the Frick Environmental Center, the Nine Mile Run Watershed Association, and the Mount Washington Community Development Corporation. Urban EcoStewards give back to their communities by adopting a specific section of park land that they agree to maintain.  Stewards receive training from Parks Conservancy staff and other program partners and visit their site throughout the year to remove invasive species, plant native flora, slow erosion, and clean up trash.  EcoStewards report to a coordinator, who will accompany them on at least one site visit per year to determine maintenance needs.

If you want to get involved, please contact the Parks Conservancy at 412-682-7275.
