Sierra Club Foundation - Lancaster Group

The Sierra Club - Lancaster Group considers itself nature's voice for picturesque Lancaster County. We support and promote its natural environment by planting native vegetation that offers healthy habitat for bees, butterflies and other wildlife; stabilizing streams with plants that help stop erosion; and educating the public about various practices that can cause harm to themselves and the area's ecosystem.

To further advance our mission, we collaborate with other county organizations.  Efforts to create habitats for native birds, build organic gardens, provide rain barrels and composters, and offer students environmental education have been supported by our "green project" grant program. Our initiative to enhance air-quality monitoring in the county has been well-received and continues, and the cooperative work we do to maintain riparian buffers is ongoing.  

Your help will be greatly appreciated as we join together to give everyone the opportunity to Explore, Enjoy and Protect the environment of scenic Lancaster County.

The Sierra Club Foundation, which promotes efforts to educate and empower people to protect and improve the natural and human environment, is the fiscal sponsor for our Group's charitable programs.

 

Who We Are

We are the Sierra Club - Lancaster Group, a local organization run by dedicated volunteers who have a passion for carrying out our activities and initiatives, including the popular "green project" grant program.

In addition to our own educational programs, we are proud to have collaborated with many groups over the years to plant native gardens and trees, create explorer bags for children, offer compost bins and rain barrels to schools and other programs, install bat houses, supply materials for teacher workshops, convert grassland to native meadows and help fund educational programs for children, just to name a few. 

All of these initiatives help us to fulfill our goal of Enjoying, Exploring and Protecting the natural environment of Lancaster County.
