Sierra Club
Wilderness preservation group
The Sierra Club is an American environmental organization founded in 1892, originally focused on protecting wilderness areas in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
It has grown into one of the largest and most influential grassroots environmental groups in the United States, advocating for conservation, clean energy, and climate action.
Members often engage in outdoor activities like hiking alongside political activism.
The Sierra Club organized a letter-writing campaign to oppose the pipeline.
