Explore Pittsburgh's Natural Beauty This Fall with AARP Pennsylvania and Allegheny Land Trust

As the leaves begin to change and cooler temperatures arrive, fall is the perfect time to get outside and explore some of western Pennsylvania's most beautiful green spaces.

AARP Pennsylvania is excited to collaborate with Allegheny Land Trust (ALT) for a special walking series designed for adults ages 50 and older. Led by ALT educators, these guided walks offer an opportunity to enjoy nature, learn about local ecosystems, and connect with others while staying active.

Participants will hike approximately one mile over moderate, uneven terrain, with plenty of stops along the way to learn about the plants, wildlife, and natural features that make these conserved spaces so special.
