Our Partners
Our Partner Organizations
We are calling on all of the Associations and Organizations that are focused on water quality throughout the Finger Lakes to join forces and work together so that we can get to the answers faster.
OWLA Board Members spend numerous hours traveling and meeting with other state, regional and local stakeholder organizations to collaborate on a wide variety of Finger Lakes and Owasco Lake issues and solutions.
And we do more than talk and meet. We are volunteers ready, willing, and able to get our hands dirty and our feet wet. We take on projects that benefit both the water and the watershed. Let me give you some examples:
