D e a r C o m m u n i t y M e m b e r s,
It is an exciting time for Onondaga Lake. With dredging completed, a year ahead of schedule, we are continuing with
capping and habitat restoration through 2016. More than 110 species of fish, birds, and mammals have already returned
to restored wetlands, and nearby areas.
The community's pride and passion have helped fuel this progress and are being rewarded as the lake
becomes a healthy, sustainable asset for generations to come. More than 500 volunteers have participated in hands-on,
experience-based Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps programs that help restore and sustain the lake and its value as
an Important Bird Area.
As recovery continues, the community is enthusiastic about all of the opportunities to use the lake now and
in the future. We hope you get or stay involved, and learn more about the cleanup by coming to the Onondaga Lake
Visitors Center or by becoming a member of the Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps.

Thank you,
John McAuliffe
Syracuse Program Director
