Sierra Club is the most historic grassroots environmental organization in the country. For more than 130 years, we’ve gathered millions of activists and volunteers from the entire country and beyond to fight for the places, people, and planet we all love. The Central-Northern New York (CNNY) Group of the Sierra Club includes areas in at least seven counties, including all or some of Herkimer, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, and St. Lawrence. The CNNY Group is one of ten groups of New York's Atlantic Chapter. Our board of eleven people work diligently to follow the particular environmental issues affecting our region, such as protecting our water, lakes, open space, and forests; as well as issues related to air quality, pollution from fossil fuels, and environmental justice. We also support environmental candidates and work on legislation to make our state safer.

Join us to help protect our planet! Our Group leadership is waiting for your help and input. Being a part of the group is educational, fun, and inspiring. You can really help make a difference! Last year, electric school buses were a major focus. This year we focused on holding chip fabrication facilities accountable to build and run new plants with as little harm to the environment as possible. We are also interested in exploring ways to enhance environmental attributes of solar and wind farm projects; furthering lead abatement efforts; and other pressing issues as they develop. We also hold interviews with candidates to consider endorsements for the November election. Want to help as well as learn about these issues?
