What we’re about
The Sierra Club is America's oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organization. This mission of the Sierra Club is to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet. The Headwaters Group of the Sierra Club serves members of Durham, Vance, Person, and Granville Counties. You do not need to live in one of these counties to join our Meetup, and unless specifically noted, you do not need to be a Sierra Club member to attend attend one of our Meetups, events, and/or outings. We welcome anyone and everyone and would love to see you at one of our events!

•OnlineProtect wetlands and other opportunities to comment
OnlineThe EPA has proposed a Polluted Water Rule, which eliminates more streams and wetlands protected under the Clean Water Act. This rule hands corporate polluters a license to damage our country's streams and headwaters. The proposed rule cuts protections for 80% of wetlands and 5 million miles of streams. Major rivers and lakes cannot be effectively protected from pollution if the small streams that flow into them are unprotected. This rule ignores science and puts our drinking water at risk for millions of people.
