Placer Group

Placer Group is one of eleven groups in the Mother Lode Chapter of the Sierra Club.

We represent members in Placer County who reside west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada.

The Sierra Club was founded by John Muir, in California in 1892.  The stated goals were to explore, enjoy, and render accessible the mountain regions of the Pacific Coast; to publish authentic information concerning them; and to enlist the support and cooperation of the people and government in preserving the forest and other natural resources of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Today we are energized by our Historical Accomplishments and prospective conservation objectives.
