Step into a legacy of environmental passion and action! Since 1970, the NC Sierra Club Chapter has been at the forefront of protecting North Carolina’s natural beauty, representing the Sierra Club National—founded in 1892 with a mission to safeguard our planet. From preserving millions of acres of wilderness to championing groundbreaking environmental legislation, the Sierra Club has been a driving force for change. Here in the Foothills Group, we proudly serve Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin counties, working tirelessly to protect the places we love and the planet we call home.
Our Mission: Protecting Today for a Greener Tomorrow
For over 40 years, the Foothills Group has been a beacon of environmental stewardship in North Carolina.

But we can’t do it alone. Together, we can:
Explore the breathtaking beauty of our local wilderness.
Protect our ecosystems and natural resources for generations to come.
Educate and inspire our community to take action for a healthier planet.
