Welcome to the Sierra Club!
On April 17, House members of the Budget Conference Committee agreed to include $300 million in Florida Forever funding in next year's budget. This represents an important, hard-won outcome for Florida Forever! Many thanks to everyone who contacted elected leaders and worked in other ways to urge them to fund Florida Forever.
 The Sierra Club is a national organization dedicated to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet. Our local Northeast Florida Group organizes and participates in outdoor adventures, environmental education, and lobbies our local and state government for pro-environmental legislation.
Twice a month, our group conducts meetings in Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra Beach. Speakers discuss diverse subjects such as snake and insect bites, the importance of barrier islands, manatee habitat, creating walkable communities, encroaching urban sprawl, and so on.
We hope you enjoy looking at our site. Feel free to come to one of our meetings or join us on an outing!
