Youth empowerment through environmental work in Syracuse, NY
“Learning about trees with OEC taught me to look up – at the trees and in life.” This is what Tyrone Cannon had to say about his experience with OEC back in 2013. Tyrone’s experience with trees and how he connected it to community members set off a decade-long conversation and movement towards memorial tree plantings in Syracuse.
