Upcoming Events

  • Earth Day 2021

    Please join us in a virtual celebration of Earth Day beginning at noon on Tuesday, April 22. The event is being hosted by the Mt. Lebanon Environmental Team (LeboGreen) on its Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Earth-Day-in-Mt-Lebanon-135088833224133. There will be a Story Map divided into sustainability topic areas, with links to websites of participating organizations. There also will be a spot for videos and workshops.      

  • Planning for 2021

    Like everyone else, the Conservancy had to scale back our activities last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We did not have our summer picnic or our winter holiday luncheon, and our Ducky Race was changed to a drawing. As we get into the new year, we hope we will be able to resume at least some of our group activities. We’re starting to make plans. When we know for sure that it’s safe, we’ll announce events here on our website and in emails to our members.

Native Trees

The Scott Conservancy is partnering with Tree Pittsburgh by offering native species trees for sale at a very favorable cost. Tree Pittsburgh’s mission is to protect and restore Pittsburgh’s urban forest through community tree planting and care, education, and advocacy. Tree Pittsburgh’s Heritage Nursery seeks to revitalize local forests, and the important services they provide, by growing a diverse range of native and heritage trees for planting efforts. The trees available for sale have proved both hardy in our local climates and resilient in modern conditions. The nursery stock is curated with pride to withstand vegetative competition and thrive after planting, even in the toughest conditions. These trees have resisted weather extremes, soil changes, and pollution over decades, making them ideal candidates.

Scott Conservancy volunteers will be able to help with pickup, delivery, and planting of these reasonably priced trees. We hope you will consider planting a tree or two on your own property or on Conservancy property.
