Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, with valuable help from volunteers and partners like KTA, recently completed a multi-year effort to renovate 8.2 miles of trails at Bear Run Nature Reserve, in Fayette Co. At over 5,000 acres, and containing mature forests and Exceptional Value streams, the Reserve is integral to preserving biodiversity in the Laurel Highlands. The property also offers visitors over 20 miles of trails and opportunities to fish, hunt, and camp. The Conservancy sincerely appreciates KTA's assistance in developing an enjoyable and sustainable trail system, and we look forward to working together in the future.
