Greetings!

One of our exciting improvements in 2011 was the long-awaited opening of a full-service restaurant in Schenley Plaza. The Porch at Schenley opened in November and has quickly become the go-to dining destination we expected, drawing people in for excellent food while providing first class views of Schenley Plaza's emerald lawn.

The Parks Conservancy relies annually on donations from thousands of people like you to fulfill our mission. If you haven't donated yet this year, here is an added incentive. Donate online in the month of August and receive:

$5 gift card to The Porch at Schenley for a donation of $25
$10 gift card to The Porch at Schenley for a donation of $50 or more

It's a win-win situation-you get to sample the unique and delicious menu at The Porch while appreciating the work of the Parks Conservancy in Schenley Plaza and the Parks Conservancy can maintain its robust calendar of fall activities.

Donate online in the month of August to receive your gift card to The Porch at Schenley.

Thank you for your continued support of the benefits our parks provide to our great city and those who call Pittsburgh home.

Become an Urban EcoSteward

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.

Are you ready to adopt your own piece of the park?

There are many Urban EcoSteward Training Dates & Events or if you don't want to wait, contact our education department at 412-682-7275 x232 or volunteer@pittsburghparks.org.

For more information, you can view or download the Urban EcoSteward brochure or Apply to the program.
