The Loxahatchee Group is one of seventeen local Sierra groups in the state of Florida. We serve members in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties in Southeast Florida. Our group offers members and prospective members opportunities to explore, enjoy, and protect the environment by volunteering, going on outings and becoming environmental activists. Welcome!
Sierra Club mission statement is “to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s ecosystems and resources; To educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment, and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.” The statement comprises of the listed components:
1. Protecting the environment
2. Improving lives
The primary duty of the Sierra Club is to maintain the stability of the environment by combating all elements of destruction. This organization has been championing for such issues through its advocates, community of volunteers, and other supporters. Sierra Club understands the essentiality of nature to the survival of humanity. It, therefore, commits all its resources to rally like-minded individuals to join its course and create a world where people can flourish and achieve their potentials.

Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge is just one of many National Wildlife Refuges across the country that work to protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. A.R.M. Loxahatchee NWR is uniquely positioned to advance this mission due to its proximity to over 6 million residents residing in or near cities within Palm Beach County. The Refuge's programs foster strong, meaningful partnerships that engage and educate our local communities. These programs are developed in collaboration with our partners, like local non-profits and organizations, with the intention of serving as an asset to surrounding communities. Conservation Ranger Camp (CRC) is one example of these types of programs. CRC is a 5-day career and outdoor recreation program introducing students to different careers in conservation and recreational activities. Hoping to inspire a sense of stewardship in participants. The program was created in partnership with Standfirm Outreach, a nonprofit based in Belle Glade with the goal of serving at-risk youth through mentorship.

She has an interest in plants and spent 3 years working within the horticulture industry. From there, she pivoted to work for the USFWS.
