Hi, thanks for dropping by the Long Beach Group, Sierra Club Web site [note: to subscribe to web site updates, select this mail link , input your first and last names as indicated, and send].
Our outings program is a major part of what Sierra Club is all about. Exploring and enjoying nature is a healthy, happy way to live. There have been day hikes to Devils Canyon, Mount Lowe Railway, Santa Rosa Plateau, Josephine Peak and Red Rock Canyon. Both our traditional Joshua Tree and the Pinnacles Nat'l Monument car camps were great successes.
We've had a car camping class, participated in beach clean-ups, staffed tables at the Long Beach Aquarium and Kaleidescope for Earth Day
Our programs are simply great. Everything from "Solar Heating for Your Home" and "Clean Water" to "Red Rock Wilderness", "Zimbabwe", Indonesia" and "Birds of Sierra Nevada". Why not attend one of our meetings?
