Sierra Club

About

The Sierra Club is a leading environmental organization in the United States, founded in 1892 by naturalist John Muir. Headquartered in San Francisco, it is dedicated to preserving wilderness areas and promoting conservation. The club's mission is to explore, enjoy, and protect natural environments while advocating for responsible use of resources. It has played a pivotal role in American conservation efforts, particularly in the establishment of national parks like Yosemite and Kings Canyon. Today, the Sierra Club engages in various activities, including outdoor excursions, public awareness campaigns, and lobbying for environmental policies. It has over a million members and chapters across the U.S., focusing on issues like sustainable energy and environmental justice. The organization has evolved to address broader ecological challenges, collaborating with communities to promote social equity and environmental protection.
