Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,
 
places to play and pray in,
 
where Nature may heal and cheer
 
and give strength to body and soul alike.

About Us

Today, with more than 700,000 members, the Sierra Club is America's oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organization. As stewards of the earth, its resources and the life it supports, members work to preserve and restore wildlands, protect endangered species, and fight for clean air and water.

The Cumberland Chapter, founded in 1968, encompasses the Commonwealth of Kentucky and, since its founding, has grown to an estimated 4,600 members. we've been involved in many conservation issues including protection of our waterways from the impacts of coal mining and factory farming; protection of our wild areas by introducing legislation to establish Kentucky's wild river system and lobbying for federal wilderness designation for the Beaver Creek and Clifty areas; and protection of our urban areas from sprawl and the negative health effects of poor air quality. Join us and make a difference in the world! Join on-line via the link at the left, or print the Membership Form and send it in to the address on the form.
