At the Toiyabe Chapter, Sierra Club's regional team of staff and activists work to protect our public lands and water, wildlife refuges, forests, parks and wilderness for all, in Nevada and the Eastern Sierra from the Tahoe basin south through Death Valley. We are the region's largest and most powerful volunteer, grassroots conservation organization representing more than 20,000 members and supporters locally, and roughly 4 million members and supporters nationwide.
