The Cherokee Group is one of four Groups within the Tennessee Chapter of the Sierra Club, a national environmental organization with over two million members. Our motto is Explore, Enjoy, and Protect the Planet.
We work to protect the natural world via education, advocacy of issues, support of local political candidates who support our goals, and by building and joining coalitions. Also, we seek to enhance appreciation of the outdoors through our outings and programs. We encourage you to join us.
The Cherokee Group is based in Chattanooga and represents the counties of Bledsoe, Bradley, Coffee, Franklin, Grundy, Jackson, Hamilton, Marion, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Overton, Polk, Putnam, Rhea, Sequatchie, VanBuren, Warren, and White in Southeast Tennessee.
Conservation: We work on a variety of conservation issues that are local, state-wide, and national in scope. Our initiatives range from the nationwide Beyond Coal Campaign that promotes using clean, renewable energy vs. fossil fuels to educating citizens and leaders on the importance of environmental protection.
