The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is holding a series  of regional workgroup meetings to engage with the public about New York’s Great Lakes Action Agenda 2023 (GLAA) (PDF). The workgroups will assist in the implementation of the action plan to guide restoration and conservation and foster sustainable, resilient communities across New York’s Great Lakes region.

Announced in July 2023, the Action Agenda is a strategic ecosystem-based action plan to guide restoration and conservation and help communities in New York’s Great Lakes Basin better prepare for flooding and severe weather events driven by climate change. Building on the foundation of the first GLAA released in 2014, the updated plan provides a shared vision and blueprint for achieving healthy Great Lakes lands and waters through coordinated, collective action by the many federal, state, and local partner organizations working throughout the watershed.

The upcoming southeastern workgroup meeting will be held:

Southeast Lake Ontario:
Nov. 29, 1 – 4 p.m. – McCrobie Civic Center, 21 Lake St., Oswego
