Sierra Club members are given many different opportunities to participate in fun filled
outings and events that are coordinated by volunteers from the seven Wisconsin member groups and the
state Chapter by Club Staff. Sierra Club also provides programs to learn that cover many different
focus areas. Some programs will enhance personal outdoor experiences while others help to share
that enjoyment or learn what decisions will help the environment. In addition to Sierra Club
events, we collaborate with many other local organizations that have similar conservation goals which
adds to the list of things to do.
