The Wyoming Chapter of the Sierra Club is a strong, well-respected and effective force for environmental protection and action in Wyoming and the Northern Rockies. In fact, named "the most influential environmental organization in Washington" by the Aspen Institute, the Sierra Club gives the public the information and the means to make their voices heard.

As part of the world's oldest and largest grassroots environmental organization, Wyoming members receive great national Club support and possess the unique ability to empower people and influence public policy through community activism, public education, lobbying and litigation.

Over the last year, through the generous support of an anonymous donor, we were able to hire a staff person, Liz Howell, to help our volunteer organization focus on protecting Wyoming's Wild Places. Liz along our Board of Directors have brought the Wyoming Chapter of the Sierra Club to the forefront of the environmental movement in Wyoming and the Northern Rockies through the following initiatives:

Organizing "Wyoming's Wild Places…Worth Protecting!" an intensive campaign to inventory and protect roadless areas in Wyoming's National Forests. We have paid activists inventorying National Forest roadless areas this season in the Medicine Bow and Bighorn, photographing and documenting intrusions in roadless areas. In the Bighorn, we have a signed Memorandum of Understanding to work together to share the information, maps and system analyses.

Working to protect habitat for grizzly bears and wolves by sponsoring events to educate the public, working with the Wyoming Game & Fish Department's efforts on grizzly bear management plan, commenting at Game and Fish Commission meetings, and organizing letter turn-out on the Habitat Conservation Strategy.

Organizing the "Bear Aware Initiative" that places bear-resistant containers in bear habitat - keeping bears away from people's food.

Protecting the Yellowstone Ecosystem and critical bear habitat from oil and gas leasing by commenting on Environmental Analyses, appealing decisions, and where warranted - litigating agency decisions that would destroy important habitat.
