History

Nationally the Sierra Club's members are more than 750,000 of your friends and neighbors. Inspired by nature, we work together to protect our communities and the planet. The Club is America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization. John Muir founded the Sierra Club in 1892 in order "to do something for the wilderness and to make the mountains glad", referencing the original purpose of the club to save and protect the wilderness areas of the Sierra Nevada range. The design of the California state quarter is a sign of how lasting Muir's legacy is and shows Muir in Yosemite Valley, which he lead the fight to preserve as a national park.
