Partnership for Onondaga Creek

The Partnership for Onondaga Creek is a diverse, community-based environmental justice organization, rooted in the Midland area of Syracuse, New York. We are committed to empowering local communities, through knowledge and tools for change, to make the water and environment in and along Onondaga Creek meet the highest standards.

Onondaga Environmental Institute serves as fiscal sponsor to the Partnership for Onondaga Creek. OEI and POC's missions are aligned through commitment, education and positive action toward the revitalization and protection of our water resources and the communities that they flow through.

Eco-'Cuse Explorers Learn about GI

On March 24 Young Eco-'Cuse Explorers (YECE) had their second session at the Dunbar Center. They learned about the problems with storm water runoff and the importance of good storm water management. With the older youth of the Onondaga Earth Corps, the YECE played with a watershed model watching how runoff can pollute our waterways. Then they explored how Green Infrastructure can help keep this pollution in check.
