Placer Group is one of eleven groups in the Mother Lode Chapter of the Sierra Club.
We represent members in Placer County who reside west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada.
The Sierra Club was founded by John Muir, in California in 1892. The stated goals were to explore, enjoy, and render accessible the mountain regions of the Pacific Coast; to publish authentic information concerning them; and to enlist the support and cooperation of the people and government in preserving the forest and other natural resources of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Today we are energized by our Historical Accomplishments and prospective conservation objectives.
Upcoming Events
Join us on July 21st from 6-8pm at Old Town Pizza in Roseville for our upcoming Pizzapalooza, featuring guest speaker Jessica Hadley!
Jessica's presentation will explore her work as a documentary filmmaker and bear specialist in Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Lake Tahoe Basin. With California's black bear population growing to an estimated 60,000 bears and human/bear conflicts on the rise, Hadley will educated us on steps towards coexistence.
