Become a Sierra Club Ohio Chapter Outings Leader - Help Others Get Outside
Ohio’s outdoors are calling you—vast forests, the great lakes, cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls that inspire awe and action. But access to these places isn’t always equitable, and the way we experience the outdoors is evolving.
