Acres of Parks and Land Trusts in Allegheny County

With almost 45,000 vacant lots and well over 10,000 acres of parks and land trusts, Allegheny County is home to important open space. All that space must be maintained to retain and increase its value, and to allow everyone to benefit from it. Despite significant and growing demand to enhance and maintain green spaces, the capacity to do so on a broad scale did not exist before now.

Likewise, even though Allegheny County has a robust workforce and human services sector, there is still a large need among people who have been excluded from employment opportunities.

To address both of these issues, Landforce was developed to create a specialized labor force known as a Landforce Crew — restoring vital community land assets while building lasting pathways to economic stability.
