Our Story
The Anne Arundel Sierra Club is working to make change locally and we want you to join us! We believe in working together to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet. We love to get outdoors, and host regular public nature and service outings. We work to protect the local land we love and its native wildlife, the air we breathe, the water we drink and play in... Chesapeake Bay and the tributary rivers that make up our watershed. Come to an event (we meet in person and virtually) or send us a message anytime!
The background: The Sierra Club is a volunteer-led, national environmental advocacy organization with entities at the national, state, and local level. Each entity is governed by an Executive Committee (“ExCom”) of members elected for their interest in protecting our environment, organizational and leadership abilities, and desire to make a difference. Unlike many other environmental groups, most of the work in the Sierra Club is done by volunteers, supported by a small number of paid staff in the state office. The Anne Arundel Group ExCom sets priorities and conservation goals; organizes nature and service outings, educational and activist events; recruits and communicates with members and the public; endorses political candidates; and raises funds, in accordance with Sierra Club policies and bylaws.
