Mission:  To protect and conserve the extraordinary natural resources of the Fox Chapel Area

History:

The Fox Chapel Land Conservation Trust was founded in 1978 by Watson C. “Butch” Marshall and Joshua Whetzel to “insure that the natural and unaltered lands in the Squaw Run Watershed shall be the inheritance of all people.”  The Fox Chapel Area Land Trust continues this legacy and is dedicated to preserving these lands in their natural, unaltered state for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents of this area.  Across the country, land trusts protect over 4.7 million acres of land, including wetlands, farms, wildlife habitat, forests, gardens, parks, coastlines, watersheds, trails and river corridors.
