Did you know that the club is the most enduring and influential grassroots environmental organization in the U.S. with chapters in every state? Our actions nationally and locally are dynamic and successful, and polls show the Sierra Club is more popular than either political party.
“With Trump back in office, we’re gearing up for a fierce battle for our health and our future,” noted the club’s Executive Director, Ben Jealous.
The Santa Barbara-Ventura Chapter is split into four regions, south (Santa Barbara) and north (Arguello) and in Ventura County, Ventura Network (north) and Conejo Group (south). We have common interests and challenges; for instance, oil/gas companies wanting to “drill baby, drill.”
The Santa Barbara Group meets every second Tuesday of the month at 12pm in downtown Santa Barbara at the Community Environmental Council Hub, 1219 State St. Contact Emily Engel to volunteer today at: emilyaengel@gmail.com
The Ventura Network is also seeking those who want to serve as leaders or advisors too; call Condor John at 805 4552-2885 or: john@gnusman.com
The Conejo group is looking for volunteers to perform trail work with various opportunities every month for about three hours of work. Tools and training are provided. If you are fit and willing to make yourself available, consider signing up: https://cosf.org/
Throughout our region opportunities exist for taking hikes, trail work, overnight outings, planting trees, taking trash off our rivers and beaches and helping wildlife exist. How about just getting your neighbors out in nature?
Or maybe you have skills in land and water conservation, air quality or transportation.
We could use help no matter where you live. There are critical opportunities to advocate for our local wildlands and wildlife.
To volunteer for any location or interest, email Santa Barbara-Ventura Chapter Director Jon Ullman at: jonathan.ullman@sierraclub.org
