SIERRA CLUB

A national environmental organization founded in 1892 based in San Francisco, California. The Sierra Club is dedicated to the exploration, enjoyment, and protection of 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 environment; and to use all lawful means to accomplish these objectives. The Sierra Club is active in public education, lobbying of legislative and administrative bodies, and, through its affiliated Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, in the courts.
