Members of OBG recently joined more than 50 volunteers along the Onondaga Lake western shoreline to create homes for wildlife by building and installing bird boxes and planting native plants. In total, the volunteers built 24 bird boxes and planted 1,250 native plants. They are part of the Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps, an expanding organization founded by OBG in partnership with Audubon New York, Montezuma Audubon Center, Onondaga Audubon Society, Parsons, and Honeywell. Together, the organization of community volunteers contributes to restoration projects that are creating or improving wildlife habitat in the Onondaga Lake watershed.
