Placer Group

Harry White

I’ve been a Sierra Club member since the 1980s,and have lived in Roseville since 2010. Placer County has a lot going for it as a great place to live, with walking and bike trails, and open spaces. But the cities and county have not done enough to balance residential and commercial development with preserving nature. I encourage all Placer County residents to join me in using our local Placer Group to protect as much land and water resources as possible, lest our descendants live in an impoverished world.

“Think globally, act locally” is never truer than in Placer County, where if we don’t act locally, we’ll find our favorite grasslands and hills covered with massive subdivisions and shopping centers. People need housing and services, but it is up to us in the Sierra Club to remind our fellow citizens of the need for wild places, native plants and wildlife. Please join us in making our corner of the world a better place.

Paul Comiskey

I am an attorney who has a strong interest in protecting our environment.

I believe that the Sierra Club at its heart is a grass roots movement, and the local Sierra Club group is as much the Sierra Club as its director.

I am intent on helping to grow the Placer Group. We need to keep the roots alive to keep the tree alive. We are the Sierra Club.

River Fae

Hello, my name is River Fae (they/them) and I am so excited to be partnering with the Sierra club. I am a full-time student and lifelong nature lover with over 15 years of experience volunteering and working in wildlife conservation. I specialize in herpetology, especially snakes and frogs! I joined the Sierra Club Placer Group last year (2025) when we teamed up to help preserve a small population of Western Spadefoot- a very cute and extremely threatened amphibian who is particularly sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation. I am a wildlife educator and advocate heavily for overlooked or wrongfully maligned creatures like rattlesnakes- I travel all over the west coast, teaching venomous snake safety courses, and introducing the public to ambassador animals to help break their misconceptions. I have been a fan and admirer of the Sierra Club ever since I was a nerdy little nature kid all the way in Alabama! I can’t wait to see how much more habitat and how many more animals we can preserve together!
