Buena Vista Group

The Buena Vista Group (BVG) is Bakersfield's local Sierra Club group. As one of four groups of the Kern-Kaweah Chapter, BVG serves the Southern San Joaquin Valley, Kern Valley, and Tehachapi areas. BVG meets monthly in Bakersfield, California, and participates in the discussion of a variety of local issues from preservation of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail for hikers and equestrians to protecting people’s health from pollution.  

Programs:

Sierra Club members and the public are invited to the Buena Vista Group Breakfast and Program on the first Saturday of the month [we sometimes go on a hiatus in July].  The programs are educational and expand on Sierra Club’s mission to Enjoy, Explore, and Protect the planet. More specific information about the programs can be found in the Kern-Kaweah Chapter newsletter, the bi-monthly Roadrunner.
