Buena Vista Group

Welcome to the Buena Vista Group of the Kern-Kaweah Chapter of the Sierra Club. Our service area includes the Southern San Joaquin Valley, Kern River Valley, and Tehachapi areas of Kern County. Our monthly no-host breakfast meetings are held on the first Saturday of most months in Bakersfield.

Centered in Bakersfield we are committed to providing quality education, outings, and conservation within our service area. Join with like-minded citizens to learn from experts about their field of study or interest. These programs are a benefit of your membership and enhance the Sierra Club motto – Explore, Enjoy and Protect the Planet.
