A Note from Our Chapter Chair

Though it can be disappointing when seeing recent news on the climate crisis and our country’s failure to address it, getting involved with community can be inspiring and uplifting. Join us! We’ve got a growing community, events coming up, and actions we’re taking in our state to make progress towards our goals.

Black History Month at Sierra Club CT

This month, our chapter will be hosting events relating to Black history month, and we hope you’ll join us! Learn more about the beginnings of the environmental justice movement and how tenant rights are connected to this work. Help us celebrate the contributions of Ida B. Wells-Barnett.

Reimagining Remington Woods

Winter is a perfect time for reflecting, planning, and visioning. See what community members have been dreaming up for the future of Remington Woods, and find out one of the ways we’re going to bring these visions to life. We can’t wait to see what this urban sanctuary turns into!

State Action on the Environment is More Important Than Ever, But Is Connecticut Moving in the Right

Under the Trump Administration, there is no doubt that at the federal level the Sierra Club will be playing defense. To keep up momentum for equitable solutions to our climate and environmental problems, action at the local and state level is more important than ever.

Stop Project Maple: What We’ve Accomplished And What’s To Come

The Stop Project Maple campaign started in 2023, when Enbridge proposed a third expansion of their fracked gas pipeline; since then, our coalition has been hard at work mobilizing to defeat Enbridge and Project Maple. In 2025, we are continuing and expanding this work.

Seeking a New Treasurer for Sierra Club Connecticut

Our chapter has been so fortunate to have benefitted from the time and talents of our volunteer Treasurer, Diane Crawford, for almost a decade – thank you, Diane! We are now in search of a new volunteer Treasurer. Could this be the position for you?

Fall in Love with Environmental Action

Have you ever thought of environmental action as a love story? Not just something we have to do, but a way to care for the planet we call home? The 2025 Legislative Session has begun and we need your help to demand urgent action from our legislatures to address the climate crisis we’re in.
