Sierra Club Iowa Chapter

The Iowa Chapter, formed in 1972, enjoys approximately 6,000 members with members in every Iowa county.  

We attend to issues of statewide importance.  We work with state agencies, the Iowa Legislature, and other environmental organizations to protect Iowa’s environment.  The Chapter takes legal action to protect Iowa’s environment when it is necessary and appropriate.  Through action alerts, we provide our members opportunities to contact legislators and other decision-makers about pending environmental issues.  We also endorse candidates for political office, as well as assist the candidates’ campaigns.

Iowa Chapter members care about clean water, clean air, healthy ecosystems and sustainable agriculture.  We support clean, renewable energy solutions to mitigate climate change.      

Members of the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club have volunteered their time to protect the natural areas and environment of Iowa for more than 45 years.
