Onondaga Lake Mapping Activity
The Onondaga Lake Mapping Activity is a hands-on opportunity to learn about the historical and modern conditions of the lake and to share your knowledge about the current state of the watershed. Best suited for high school and adult audiences, the mapping activity is facilitated and lasts about an hour. The Facilitator’s Guide and other activity handouts are available for free download in the Links column at right.
To schedule a mapping activity for your group, please contact OEI at outreach@oei2.org or (315) 472-2150.
