Your love for Mount Nittany makes its conservation possible. And the work of conservation is costly. We are asking for your contribution today toward our Centre Gives fundraising goal for conservation work over the year to come.

The Impact of Giving to Mount Nittany
Last spring, for the first time in 15 years, an invasive pest called the “spongy moth” was on the verge of defoliating significant acreage on Mount Nittany. In response, the Mount Nittany Conservancy hired a team to conduct aerial spraying to protect the Mountain from the ravages of invasive and forest-killing moths.
The good news is that the actions taken against the spongy moth were successful. But the bad news is that the expense was enormous: $40,934.25. And this expense is just one of many that we bear throughout the year to conserve and protect Mount Nittany in its natural state for the benefit of the public.
We need your support today to fund a critically necessary conservation work throughout the year to come. We’re asking for your gift today—or at the absolute latest, tomorrow by 8pm—during Centre Gives.
Signage. Brochures. Trail maintenance. Dead tree clearing. Scenic overlook renewal. Erosion repair. Each of these crucial areas of the Mount Nittany Conservancy’s work depends on support from the people of Penn State and the Nittany Valley’s communities. Today is the day we ask that you renew your support.
