Pittsburgh, Pa. − Abril 26, 2024 − Senator Lindsey M. Williams and Rep. Emily Kinkead joined Allegheny Land Trust (ALT) in celebrating Earth Day this week by announcing the creation of a 67-acre protected, publicly accessible green space in Ross Township. ALT’s acquisition of a 24-acre green space along Lowries Run connected existing lands, thus creating the green space. Funding for this purchase was made possible in part through a $90,000 Gaming Economic Development Tourism Fund (GEDTF) grant secured earlier this year.

This new addition expands the existing Lowries Run Slopes Conservation Area and connects directly to Ross Township’s Marion Doulton Green Space, creating a total of 67-acres of protected woodlands. This newly expanded space provides incredible opportunities for outdoor recreation and environmental education for local residents.
