The San Gorgonio of the Sierra Club is our local voice for the nation's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, and the only Southern California environmental group that engages thousands of volunteers to help people explore and enjoy the outdoors, protect and improve the environment, and elect environmental candidates to public office.

Our volunteers helped to establish the the Mojave Preserve and new Sand to Snow, Mojave Trails, and Castle Mountains National Monuments.
