Western Slope Group

Home

Please join us in western Colorado. The Western Slope Group includes members living in Mesa County, Delta County, Montrose County, Gunnison County, Ouray County, and part of Garfield County. We were originally organized as the Uncompahgre Sierra Club in 1985. The Sierra Club is a grassroots, volunteer-led organization. We advocate for healthy public lands, sustainability, and for Colorado environmental issues. We invite you to find out more about our local activities and how you can be involved.

The Western Slope Group usually has a monthly potluck and meeting in Grand Junction.

END COLORADO WILDLIFE
KILLING FOR FUR SALES!


At this moment, bobcats, beavers, coyotes, raccoons, and 13 other
species are still being trapped and killed for their fur. Colorado allows
unlimited killing for a $35 license. Your voice can help stop this.
On March 4–5, 2026, Colorado Parks and Wildlife commissioners heard a
petition to ban the sale of fur from wildlife in our state.
Students and community members who cared about wildlife showed up. Every voice,
every email, and every person in the room determined what CPW decided, and they decided to consider this petition, and are now discussing its terms!
 

See? Your voice matters. Will you continue to stand up for Colorado’s wildlife and speak out against
this cruel tradition? 
Science for Colorado Wildlife uses best available
science to protect Colorado’s wildlife and the habitats
they need to thrive. We get research into the hands
of decision-makers, spotlight the science behind
biodiversity, and speak up for wildlife across the state.
