Find out more about the volunteers and leaders of the Sierra Sportsmen, a group of hunting and fishing Sierra Club members fighting to protect our clean water and the biological diversity of our wilderness, as well as giving kids the opportunity to fish and hunt.
Sierra Club's Policy On Sport Hunting and Fishing
Wildlife and native plant management should emphasize maintenance and restoration of healthy, viable native plant and animal populations, their habitats, and ecological processes.
Acceptable management approaches include both regulated periodic hunting and fishing when based on sufficient scientifically valid biological data and when consistent with all other management purposes and when necessary total protection of particular species or populations.

Welcome!
When John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt hiked into the Yosemite Valley together in 1903, they shared a first-hand interest in protecting America's wild places. Muir was a hiker who wanted to wander mountains and valleys that were free of industrial development. Roosevelt was a hunter who wanted to explore dense forests and open fields. They were natural allies.
They could not have known the challenges that would face that land and many others in the years to come. But they were men of vision who understood the value of America's wild legacy.
