Protecting our waterways one stream, one wetland, one drop at a time

HollyTireCleanupIn just the last year, Ohio Sierra Club members like you have dedicated over 5,000 hours of service towardrestoring Ohio's waterways. Over the past 5 years, SierraClub Ohio has engaged thousands of volunteers at hundreds of events, resulting in over 15,000 hours dedicated to restoring streams and rivers.

Volunteers have become stewards by taking ownership of Ohio's public waterways--transforming trashed, neglected and inaccessible spaces into clean, safe, and vibrant areas. Over the next two years, we planto double the amount of volunteer hours we coordinate, increase the number of locations where wehold serviceevents, and better our tracking methods to showcase our volunteers' successes. We will work to empower volunteers to “adopt” waterway locations, encourage ownership of neglected public spaces, and provide individuals the opportunity to become long-term stewards of specific sites.
