Conservation Initiatives & Opportunities
Sierra Club works on many local conservation initiatives. These initiatives include protecting the Little Miami River, environmental enforcement, fighting environmental justice, protecting our forests, promoting transportation alternatives, fighting urban sprawl, protecting water quality and providing public education. For an in-depth look at each of these campaigns, please visit our Local Issues page.
Hunter/Angler Opportunities
The dedication of sportsmen and women has helped to pass landmark conservation laws like the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and the Wilderness Act. Programs funded by hunters and anglers have directed billions of dollars towards the conservation of fish and wildlife habitat. For more information click here. Sierra Club has initiated a nationwide campaign to create a working relationship with these conservationists to help ensure the future of our environment. We are seeking men and women who love to fish or hunt to help us on this campaign.
If you like to fish or hunt and would like more information on how you can get involved today, please contact us at (513) 861-4001. |
