PROJECT SUMMARY: ALT is working with community partners to acquire and permanently protect 30 acres of green space in Ross Township. This land has adjacency to the Township’s 31-acre Municipal Park, and sits at the highest point in the Girty’s Run Watershed.
Conserving this green space will preserve the character of this community, build resiliency, and provide expanded public recreational opportunities enhancing the quality of life for generations to come.
