The Allegheny Land Trust (ALT) is a 501c3, independent Pennsylvania Corporation with the mission of conserving and caring for local land for the health and well-being of current and future generations.

We envision a resilient region with abundant green space that is easily accessible and recognized as essential to the quality of life for all.  

Established in 1993, ALT has conserved almost 3,000 acres across Allegheny and Washington counties in over 30 municipalities.  Strategic priorities include LAND CONSERVATION (protect rapidly disappearing green space for the overall well-being of the region),  LAND STEWARDSHIP (manage and care for our conserved green spaces for perpetual community benefit), COMMUNITY CONSERVATION (empower communities through education, innovative programs, resources to create equity through conservation) and NATURE-BASED EDUCATION (foster an understanding of regional issues and solutions for current and future generations.  

The Allegheny County Library Association (ACLA) is a federated library system of 46 public libraries delivering service in more than 70 locations. Member Libraries include the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, which has 19 locations, and 45 other libraries and their branches located outside the City of Pittsburgh throughout Allegheny County. Each library is independent and has its own board of directors; as a consortium they share a countywide catalog, jointly offer downloadable books, audios, and videos as well as online databases, and provide a diverse calendar of programming events. The eiNetwork supports the automated library operations, Internet access, and free Wi-Fi services available at all county libraries. Through its coordination, ACLA expands the resources of local libraries beyond what they could accomplish individually.
