Central-Northern New York Group

Welcome to the Sierra Club Central-Northern NY Group

The purpose of this site is to enhance communication and participation of Sierra Club members and concerned citizens in preserving our environment. 

Formed in 1972, our group is affiliated with the Atlantic Chapter of the Sierra Club. We are located in Central and Northern New York. We further the Sierra Club’s conservation and environmental efforts through local and regional initiatives, including educational events, indoors and outdoors. Our group welcomes participation and suggestions. Please contact an Executive Committee member (see below) for additional information.

The Executive Committee meets monthly at 7pm and all Sierra Club members are welcome to attend. Please contact chair, Rhea Jezer for the meeting schedule.
