Dear Community Members,
Visible progress continues throughout the Onondaga Lake watershed. Honeywell has finished the
dredging of Onondaga Lake, a year ahead of schedule. Many in the Central New York community
are passionate about the cleanup and there is truly a sense of pride in the progress to date.
It is inspiring to see how the team is committed and focused on getting the project done.
Rebuilding natural habitat along the lake's tributaries and southwestern shoreline is a vital
ingredient of the cleanup of Onondaga Lake. Dozens of acres of wetlands have already been
restored, allowing for the return of wildlife.
Our partners have made this story of progress possible. Thank you for your ongoing
support of the cleanup. We hope you all will get involved and learn more about the Onondaga
Lake cleanup by coming to the Onondaga Lake Visitors Center or by becoming a member
of the Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps to participate in hands-on, experience-based
programs that help restore and sustain the lake and its value as an Important Bird Area.
