From 9 to 11:15 am POC members, the Creek Rats, urban youth and ESF students picked up trash along Onondaga Creek & Hovey Street. At 11:15 am we walked two blocks to Aggie's at 340 Midland Avenue and had pizza and soda. This cleanup was the first local outing for the youth going to NYSDEC summer camp.

The 2012 Young Eco-'Cuse Explorer (YECE) program ended with 9 children (11-14 yrs old) going to NYSDEC's summer  camp in Adironacks and then doing hands-on projects in the fall with our partner groups Onondaga Earth Corps (OEC) and Onondaga Environmental Institute (OEI).  Together, we planted a demonstration rain garden off Newell Street and planted trees in Kirk Park, an initiative of Cornell Cooperative Extension.  These Saturday activities finished our 2012 program.
