The Sierra Club is a national, member-supported environmental organization, which seeks to influence public policy in both Washington and the state capitals through public education and grass-roots political action.
- The New Jersey Chapter Mission Statement:
-
To explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth;
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 environments.
In this environment, it’s more important than ever that we have adequate stormwater management. Poor management can lead to more polluted water flooding our streets during storms, significantly impacting public health.
All towns must adopt the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Stormwater Rules by March 2021. We need to go further. Read more.

The NJ State Long Trail is a 383 mile long hiking trail and greenway that will extend from the northern end of the state (High Point, the highest point in New Jersey) to the southern end (Cape May Point, at sea level). It will connect many of the most beautiful areas of the state by providing a trail for hikers and other users of public open space, and a contiguous greenway for the movement of wildlife between these natural areas. The route goes over beautiful hills, through upland forests, across and adjacent to waterways and by farms in the north and through pinelands forests, by cranberry bogs, across and adjacent to fine waterways and by farms in the south. It also goes through the State Capitol of Trenton and several other historic communities. The route is highly representative of New Jersey’s natural environment.
NJ Sierra Club has released two reports that detail ways to address climate change and promote environmental justice through clean transportation. Clean Transportation for All: Building a Frequent Service Bus Network for Northeastern New Jersey evaluates frequent weekday bus service in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic, and Union Counties, with the complementary goals of increasing bus ridership and reducing car vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Clean Transportation for All: Improving Access to New Jersey Public Transit Information provides an analysis and recommendations based on a review of the NJ Transit website and transportation agencies elsewhere in the United States, as well as suggestions from our members and other New Jersey residents.
The Sierra Club is teaming up with SunPower to help our members and supporters go solar and fight climate change. Check out our special offer here for Sierra Club NJ Chapter members and supporters! $1,000 for you, and $1,000 for Sierra Club!
New Jersey, the Garden State, is in danger of becoming the Pipeline State. The number of proposed new pipelines is growing: the PennEast pipeline in the central and western part of the state; the South Jersey Gas and New Jersey Natural Gas pipelines in the Pinelands; and the Pilgrim Pipeline in the northern part of the state. We have to stand together to stop these pipelines. The New Jersey Chapter is working with our environmental allies and members of the affected communities to stop these projects that contribute to global climage change and endanger our local environment. Read about them on our Issues Page.
