Earth Month Round-Up

Sierra Club Clean Break hosted a picnic in Signal Hill for a day of learning and taking action to advocate for oil well cleanup and a phase-out of the oil drilling in our backyards for good. The event featured guest speakers, breakout groups to discuss strategy and time for connecting with new friends!

 

 

The Pasadena Group had 18 hikers trek up to Muir Peaks. Each year, the Pasadena Group sponsors an outing to Muir Peak (4688 ft.) to remember John Muir's birthday and the anniversary of the official naming of Muir Peak, talk about the history of John Muir's visit to Pasadena, his trekking in the local mountains, and his first ascent of the peak in 1877, long before the roads and trails we use now existed.

 

 

 

 

 

The Trailies of the Santa Monica Mountains Taskforce (SMMTF) joined forces with other local volunteer groups, families and individuals to repair and restore trails in Point Mugu State Park as part of the 39th annual Santa Monica Mountains Trail Days festival (April 22nd-24th).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tabling at community events was a success for regional group volunteers, as they recruited new members and spread awareness about Sierra Club’s mission to protect and preserve the environment. Volunteers engaged with community members, sharing their passion for the great outdoors and promoting the benefits of the Chapter’s local conservation efforts. Overall, the experience was both rewarding and productive, bringing new energy and enthusiasm to the organization's ongoing work.

 

Palos Verdes/South Bay volunteers signed up 11 new families for Sierra Club membership and handed out over 300 Foggy View newsletters and countless prizes to the kids who spun a prize wheel.

The Central Group tabled in the South Park Neighborhood Association’s First Earth Day Event in DTLA. Folks participated in a drawing, providing a Sierra Club bag, bamboo utensils, a "No Drilling Where We're Living t-shirt, and the classic Sierra Club aluminum water cup.
