Our Mission

The Chapter's Mission is to Explore, Enjoy and Protect the Planet 

With the support of grassroots volunteers and organizers, the Tennessee Chapter of the Sierra Club works to protect air, water and ecosystems, and to promote sustainable solutions that improve the safety and health of communities.

The Chapter worka to stop polluters that from removing our mountaintops, fracking our forests, polluting our streams and from keeping coal plants running for decades.

 The Chapter is dedicated to replacing dirty energy with better efficiency and renewable energy, like solar and wind instead of oil and nuclear, while advocating for economic diversification in communities most impacted by the transitioning energy economy.

The Chapter strives to protect both urban and rural places from pollution and unnecessary development.

The Chapter defends native ecosystems, stream ecology, endangered species, and special and treasured places across Tennessee.
