The Branch

Sunny days in Pittsburgh are always a great treat, especially when they're spent outdoors with friends!

On Sunday, May 31, members of the Sally and Howard Levin Clubhouse joined The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh, JCC Pittsburgh, Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, and Ariel Matz Consulting for a relaxing nature walk at Frick Park Environmental Center. Everyone had a great time enjoying the Sensory Nature Trail, connecting with new and familiar faces, and exploring birding activities led by naturalist educators.

Thank you to the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy and Frick Park Environmental Center for helping create an inclusive, welcoming space where people of all abilities can connect with nature and one another.

Congratulations to Susan Friedberg Kalson and JHF and PRHI Board member David Kalson, who were honored by The Branch as the 2026 Krause Award recipients for their leadership, generosity and commitment to a more inclusive Pittsburgh.
