About Us

Since 1892, the Sierra Club has been working to protect communities, wild places, and the planet itself. We are the oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States.

The Ohio Chapter was established in 1968 and represents more than 125,000 members and supporters. The Chapter advocates for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and public transit. We proudly defend Ohio’s forests, state parks, and nature preserves. We preserve water resources by advocating for green infrastructure, factory farm regulation, and protections for Lake Erie and watersheds throughout the state. Finally, we promote Ohio’s transition to a 21st-century economy through the creation of good-paying, long-standing green jobs.

In Sierra Club Ohio, we operate with our Code of Conduct. Our focus is that all volunteers and staff engage in a welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging environment. Read more about our Code of Conduct and its purpose here.

There are three active regional, volunteer-driven Sierra Club groups/sections that work on environmental issues in their respective areas. These groups/sections meet regularly and sponsor a variety of conservation-oriented activities including outings, campaigns, and educational programs. See the map at the bottom-right corner of this page to find your group/section and get involved.
