Allegheny Land Trust helps local people save local land in the Pittsburgh region. We currently have two major land conservation projects under contract for protection. We’re working closely with the neighboring communities to ensure these rare green spaces are permanently protected for the benefit of current and future generations. Learn more about the individual projects by following the links below to their respective pages. If you have land you would like to conserve, please submit information using our online form. 

 

Dead Man’s Hollow Expansion Project

Dead Man’s Hollow was ALT’s very first conservation project and it remains among its most popular to visitors today. Now, we have an opportunity to expand the footprint of this incredible conservation area by conserving 10 acres between the Hollow and the Youghiogheny River along the Great Allegheny Passage.

Expand Settlers Cabin Park

In 2024, we were able to protect two parcels of land as part of our years-long, landscape-scale “Panhandle Greenway Conservation Project”. Now, we have another 30 acres of green space under contract for permanent conservation. This grows upon our efforts in creating an ecological, recreational, and place-making greenway unlike any in the region.

Protect the Panhandle Trail

We have 42 acres of green space under contract for protection in South Fayette Township along the beloved Panhandle Trail. This serves as another phase of our years-long, landscape-scale “Panhandle Greenway Conservation Project”. Preserving this land will help to buffer the Panhandle Trail, preserving the green corridor that provides scenic beauty and shade relief during visitors’ walks, runs, and bike rides.
