About the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club
Welcome! The Santa Lucia Chapter serves all of San Luis Obispo County. We have over 2500 members and our operations are dependent on a core group of volunteers who help our members stay informed, get outdoors, take action on conservation issues, engage with elected officials, and keep our Chapter running. Our leadership team is presented below. If you are interested in joining us, be sure to fill out our Volunteer Questionnaire. Our local newsletter, the Santa Lucian, is published six times a year. Articles range from club news, outings, and activities to local conservation issues and legislative alerts.
