About Us

The Sierra Club's members are 750,000 of your friends and neighbors. Inspired by nature, we work together to protect our communities and the planet. The Club is America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization.

The North Star Chapter is one of the Club's oldest, recently celebrating its 35th anniversary of helping to preserve and protect the environment in Minnesota. We do this through both educational programs and political activism.


Together, we

  • Explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth.
  • Practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources.
  • Educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment.
  • Use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.
We invite you to join us in achieving our goals.


Get to know us better by meeting the people that keep our chapter humming, come with us on an outing, or discuss the issues with us at a committee meeting. We look forward to seeing you!

Our main office is in Minneapolis, but we have member groups located throughout the state. Find one near you, and get involved!


We publish a printed newsletter, the North Star Journal, and E-Sierra, a regular e-mail update on environmental issues. We also issue frequent press releases to the public.
