Mid-Hudson Group

The Mid-­Hudson Group of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter includes Ulster, Dutchess, and parts of Columbia, Greene, Delaware, and Orange counties. We have over 2,500 members, and we'd love to add you to our group. If you enjoy the outdoors, want to support our efforts to protect the environment and are concerned about the future of our planet, we invite you to join us.

The Sierra Club is a leader in the environmental movement to protect our natural world. The issues can be international, national, and statewide, as well as here in the Hudson Valley. On this page we will focus on information about our Group's position on important issues. Please visit the Sierra Club national site or our own Atlantic Chapter (New York) site for more information regarding our stance on national and statewide issues.
