EVENTS LISTING

What's going on with Panther Hollow?

Wednesday, September 15th, 6:30 p.m
Phipps' Botany Hall on the north end of Panther Hollow Bridge

The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy hears regularly from local residents about the poor condition of
Panther Hollow Lake. However, the restoration of the Lake must begin upstream – in the Panther
Hollow Watershed – in order for the Lake to remain healthy.  Through a variety of ecological efforts, the Parks Conservancy and the City of Pittsburgh have begun to improve the health of Panther Hollow, but more work remains.


Join the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy for What’s going on in Panther Hollow? – an informative presentation about the ongoing restoration efforts in Panther Hollow. In addition to Parks Conservancy staff, consultant Michele Adams will present examples of innovative engineering solutions to some
of the stormwater impacts on the watershed.


The address begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 15 in Phipps’ Botany Hall on the north end of the Panther Hollow Bridge. Admission is FREE but seating is limited. Attendees should RSVP to kayers@pittsburghparks.org or by calling 412-682-7275 x227 by September 13.  All pre-registered attendees will receive a complimentary Parks Conservancy rain gauge at the event.
