| Our Great Rivers Group |
| The Cumberland (Kentucky) CHAPTER, founded in 1968, encompasses the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky, comprises 6 active Groups and, since its founding, has grown to an estimated 5,000 members. The Sierra Club mission is to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet. The Cumberland Chapter works through lobbying, political elections, public education, and activism to protect Kentucky's water and air quality, support local farmers and healthy, sustainable food production practices, encourage the development of a safe, clean and sustainable energy economy in Kentucky, and provide outdoor activities and adventure opportunities for Kentuckians. Our Great Rivers GROUP includes all Cumberland Chapter members who have the following zip codes: 42000-42099, 42411, and 42445. These postal zip codes include the following counties: Ballard, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Crittenden, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, Marshall, McCracken, Trigg. Some of the environmental issues impacting the Great Rivers Group area include sprawl, and air and water quality problems exacerbated by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations and coal-fired power plants. These problems impact the health and well-being of our families and communities as well as the ecosystems of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, wildlife management areas, and state parks like Land Between The Lakes. In our mission to explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth we not only get involved in issues, but have a fun and active outings program.
