There are many ways to participate: create habitat at home through the Lawn to Habitat Program, become a conservation volunteer, support tree planting statewide through the Keystone Tree Fund, or explore resources and toolkits to inform your work. You’ll also find opportunities to improve watershed health through forestry and streamside buffer projects that come with free technical assistance and funding support. No matter your level of experience, there’s a place for you to contribute to a more sustainable and climate‑ready Pennsylvania.
