Join the Sierra Club
One of the easiest ways to support grassroots environmental action in Wisconsin is to join the Sierra Club. When you join the Sierra Club you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to preserve Wisconsin’s irreplaceable land and water resources, save endangered and threatened wildlife, and reduce the levels of toxins and pollutants in our environment. You can be sure that your voice will be heard through congressional lobbying and grassroots action on the environmental issues that matter to you most.
The quote below, excerpted from an article written by R. Helminiak for the Jan. 1968 issue of Milwaukee magazine, highlights the impact of concerned Sierrans on conserving Wisconsin’s natural resources. This quote is as timely today as it was back then in explaining why YOU should join the Sierra Club today!
“…Wisconsin’s scenic resources have become a heritage that cannot survive without an intelligent appraisal by its heirs. Although recognized, their reality can be erased by bureaucratic expediency or multiple use plans that meet certain needs but preserve nothing… Fortunately, for both resources and citizens, the philosophy of John Muir has returned to Wisconsin and flourishes in the Sierra Club’s state chapter… The Wisconsin Sierrans now seek a similar understanding by catalyzing Muir’s philosophy into a cogent reaction between nature and the individual.”
