PITTSBURGH BOTANIC
GARDEN AWARDED
DEP GRANT
The Pittsburgh Botanic Garden has been
awarded a $370,000 Growing Greener Grant
from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The grant is one of 114 totaling more than
$25 million in funding from the Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP) for
protection of Pennsylvania’s water resources.
According to Christine Koebley, the
PBG’s Interim President, “This grant
will help support
the environmental
mission of the garden.
The Pittsburgh
Botanic Garden
has a proven track
record in deploying
innovative water
treatment systems to
clean and restore acid
mine drainage. The
treatment system at
our lotus pond won
Christine Koebley
the 2014 Pennsylvania
Governor’s Award for Environmental
Excellence.”
The grant will be used to clean acid mine
drainage within
the headwaters
of the Kentucky
Hollow area
at the garden.
Mitigating this discharge is a key component
of a master plan to restore Kentucky
Hollow’s ecosystem to its original state. This
project is part of a larger plan to rehabilitate
5,000 feet of the stream bank area in
Kentucky Hollow.
The Pittsburgh Botanic Garden offers an
outdoor experience unlike any in the region.
Acres of forest that were farmed, logged and
mined are coming back to life with gorgeous
gardens, inviting trails, forested slopes and
open meadows. Our 60-acre Woodlands
includes an environmental award-winning
lotus pond, stunning dogwood meadow, fun
Exploration Stations for families and three
miles of peaceful trails. A beautifully restored
1870s barn is available to celebrate special
occasions. For more information please visit
