We were founded in the fall of 1970 by a local group of dedicated, inspired environmental activists. We are all volunteers and are led by our local Executive Committee and many other volunteers.
We present programs each month. Speakers discuss diverse subjects on nature, conservation, and the environment. Our programs are posted on our calendar and on our Meetup site.
Outings are an integral part of the Sierra Club. We lead several local hiking, kayaking, or other outdoor activities each month. All of our activities are posted on our calendar and on our Meetup site.
We lobby and work actively to promote smart energy, preserve and increase our public lands, and promote a healthy community.
Our Northeast Group is extremely active in helping with the Sierra Club's mission to Explore, Enjoy, and Protect the Planet.
Our accomplishments include conducting regular, free nature outings, educating and communicating on environmental and conservation topics, fighting against inappropriate development, advocatiing for the environment in the political and legislative arena, and taking on issues to "Fight the Good Fight" on behalf of our planet.
