  • Chapter 2 Physical Environment, Natural and Historic Resources
    CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, NATURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION Plum Borough has numerous natural, historic and cultural resources. This section of the plan will identify those resources and some measures needed to protect, conserve, and preserve them. Historic Resources Plum Borough has several historic structures and sites from the early nineteenth century. These structures and sites provide a link to the borough’s past. The borough has a historical society known as the Allegheny Foothills Historical Society. The historical society’s office and resources are located in the Oliver M. Thompson History Room at the Plum Borough Library. When Allegheny County was created in 1788, Plum was incorporated as one of its seven original townships. In 1956, Plum was reincorporated as a borough. Many Native American tribes once lived in present day Plum. These tribes include the Iroquois, Algonquian, Cherokee, Seneca, Erie, and later the Shawnee and Delaware. There are Native American archeological sites in the borough and trails that the tribes once used still survive in Boyce Park. The last Native American tribe to inhabit the area was the Monongahela Tribe in the 1600’s. Plum Borough’s population has grown from about 6,300 in 1930 to about 30,000 in 2009. This growth was largely due to the advent of the automobile and the expansion of public infrastructure, i.e., sewer and water lines and roadways. Early development in Plum centered on coalmines and oil and gas fields. These natural resources provided employment and spawned the mining towns of Barking, Renton, Unity, and Logans Ferry. These towns still have remnants of miners’ housing and survive today in the form of neighborhoods rather than coal patch towns.

  • BOYCE PARK Prepared for the Allegheny County Parks Foundation January, 2016
    ALLEGHENY COUNTY PARKS ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AND ACTION PLAN BOYCE PARK Prepared for the Allegheny County Parks Foundation January, 2016 FOREWORD With nine parks encompassing over 12,000 acres, Allegheny County boasts one of the largest regional park systems in the country. An array of abundant recreational Board of Directors activities makes each park a unique destination. Nature is the common thread that James Mitnick (chair) connects our parks and is our most treasured asset. The abundant resources found Ellen Still Brooks (vice chair) in our parks’ forests, meadows and streams provide vital habitat for flora and fauna Rick Rose (treasurer) that clean our air and water, pollinate our plants and connect the web of life. We are Sally McCrady (secretary) stewards of these natural sanctuaries and are working to protect them for future Tom Armstrong generations. Chester R. Babst, III Andy Baechle Bill Bates In 2015, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation together with the Allegheny Carol R. Brown County Parks Department launched a systematic evaluation of natural resources G. Reynolds Clark and ecological assets in the parks beginning with Boyce Park.

  • FALL/WINTER 2015/2016 PROGRAM and EVENT GUIDE Fall Is Nearly Upon Us
    Allegheny County Parks FALL/WINTER 2015/2016 PROGRAM AND EVENT GUIDE Fall is nearly upon us. It’s always bittersweet. For many of us, it means the end of summer, back to school and time for sweaters, football and apple cider. For our county parks though, it means even more of an opportunity to highlight the amenities and opportunities that make our Allegheny County Parks system such a valuable asset in our region. Our Allegheny County Park Rangers have several months in our parks under their belts now, and their experiences can be seen in the educational and recreational opportunities that they are offering in this guide. If you’ve not had the opportunity to interact with them, consider participating in one of the many programs being offered by the rangers. The Fall Foliage Hike is the perfect chance to enjoy the fall weather and the changing leaves which always signal the coming change of seasons. Our Parks Rangers are expanding beyond our parks too – they have participated as resources in festivals and other events in our community, sharing their background and experiences. The Park Rangers outreach includes to local schools and groups for educational programming. Fall is also the perfect opportunity for you to “live well.” In January 2014, the Live Well Allegheny program was launched that embraces a broad concept of living will which includes physical health, mental wellness, personal and community safety, prevention and preparedness, and much more. Whether you choose to take advantage of a formal class like yoga, or simply utilize our trails and facilities, you can make this fall your time to make a personal pledge to live well.

  • Allegheny County Natural Heritage Inventory, 1994
    ALLEGHENY COUNTY NATURAL HERITAGE INVENTORY Prepared for: The Allegheny County Board of Commissioners Tom Foerster, Chairman Pete Flaherty Larry Dunn Project Management: Allegheny County Planning Department Raymond L. Reaves, Director Andrew M. Loza, Project Manager Prepared by: Western Pennsylvania Conservancy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania February 1994 This study was developed in part with financial assistance provided through the Recreational Improvement and Rehabilitation Act Program (RIRA Grant # RIRA-TAG-8-2), as administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation Printed on recycled paper PREFACE The Allegheny County Natural Heritage Inventory identifies and maps Allegheny County's most significant natural areas. The study investigated plant and animal species and communities that are unique or uncommon in Allegheny County; it also explored areas important for general wildlife habitat, education and scientific study. The inventory does not confer protection on any of the areas listed here. It is however a tool for informed and responsible decision-making. Public and private organizations may use the inventory to guide land acquisition and conservation decisions. Local municipalities and the County may use it to help with comprehensive planning, zoning and the review of development proposals. Developers, utility companies and government agencies alike may benefit from access to this environmental information prior to detailed development plans being made. Although the inventory was conducted using a tested and proven methodology, it is best viewed as a preliminary report rather than the final word on the subject of Allegheny County's natural heritage. Further investigations could potentially uncover a few previously unidentified Natural Heritage Areas. Likewise, in-depth investigations of sites listed in this report could reveal greater natural wealth than has been documented here.
