The Oneida Lake
Association (OLA) was founded in 1945
to protect, restore and preserve the
natural resources of Oneida Lake and
its surrounding ecosystem.
The
OLA has evolved from what was once perceived
as a fishing association to what has
today become a powerful environmental
partnership group.
The OLA represents
its 4,000+ members in legislative and
environmental issues which impact Oneida
Lake, including:
• Increasing
Public Awareness of Oneida Lake, the Recreational
and Ecological Benefits it has to
• offer,
and the Issues which potentially
impact the Lake and its Habitat
• Working
with Elected Officials and other Non-Profit
Agencies for the Protection of Oneida Lake's
• Wetlands
and Wildlife
• Enforcement
of Environmental and Safety Laws
• Support
of Conservation Legislation
• Maintaining
adequate Water Levels for Oneida Lake
• Support
of the Oneida Lake Fish Cultural Station
• Improvement
of the Lake's Public Access Sites
• Monitoring
Water Quality and "Problem Species" in
Oneida Lake
• Elimination
of Point and Non-Point Pollution in Oneida
Lake
The Oneida Lake Association
achieves its political strength from its
highly valued Membership,
without whom most of its efforts would be
severely diminished. Have a look at the benefits
of membership in the OLA, and what it has
to offer you. After all,
it's your lake--why not help to preserve
it?
