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 CNNY (Central & Northern New York) Group is one of ten groups of the Atlantic Chapter, and encompasses seven counties in Central and Northern New York, and has almost 2500 members. Our board of eleven people work diligently to follow the particular environmental issues affecting our region, such as protecting our water, lakes, open space, forests, air quality, pollution from fossil fuels, and environmental justice issues. We also support environmental candidates and work on legislation to make our state safer.

Join us to help protect our planet! Our committees are waiting for your help and input. Being a part of the group is educational, fun and inspiring. You can really help make a difference! We are currently focusing on such issues as promotion of electric school buses, holding Micron accountable to build and run its new chips plant with as little harm to the environment as possible, solar and wind farm projects, lead abatement, and several other pressing issues. We will also be holding interviews to endorse candidates for the November election. Want to help as well as learn about these issues?  

Contact the Group and tell us your ideas and interests. If you would like to join as a member and are not already, please join by clicking Join or using the Join button to the right.

The CNNY Group is part of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter.
