We are excited to announce a new project in Deer Lakes Park, in partnership with Allegheny County Parks, to install a 3.5-acre wildflower meadow near the park office barn. The meadow will be planted next to the recently installed solar array, which will soon provide all the electricity needed to achieve the park's net zero energy goals. The new meadow will reduce stormwater runoff flows, provide critical pollinator habitat, and reduce the need to mow while enhancing the park's beauty. A huge thank you goes to the Alcoa Foundation for funding this project and to our partner on the project, Allegheny County. Stay tuned for project updates! https://acparksfoundation.org/barn-solar-meadow/

❗Montour Woods Greenway Update❗
As flagship project of Hollow Oak Land Trust, the Montour Woods Greenway will connect public and private greenspaces for a 10-mile trail loop in western Allegheny County. In collaboration with Moon Township and the Montour Trail Council, Hollow Oak has completed land acquisitions, trail development, and construction of five (5) trail bridges linking Moon Park to the Montour Trail at Hassam Road. Three miles down the Montour Trail, Hollow Oak has built four miles of trails at Trout Run Conservation Area, with trail agreements pending to complete the 10-mile loop to Moon Park.

Negotiations are underway to close the final gaps in this transformational project:
🌿 A trail easement is nearly complete with the Cherrington Homeowners Association (HOA) to extend the trail one mile upstream from the Trout Run Conservation Area.
🌿 Acquisition of acreage is nearly complete with the Pittsburgh Farm Partnership for a half-mile of trail to Moon Golf Club property.
🌿 A trail agreement is in discussion with the Moon Golf Club (Moon Twp. Recreation Authority) to add one mile of trail up to the Beaver Grade Road crossing.
🌿 A trail agreement is in discussion with Allegheny County Airport Authority to add one mile of additional trail across non-aviation land to complete the loop to Moon Park.
