Sierra Forest Legacy

Sierra Forest Legacy is a coalition of 98 local, regional, and national environmental organizations whose primary goal is to protect and restore the Sierra Nevada's national forests. Formed in 1996, as the Sierra Nevada Forest Protection Campaign, the Campaign's member groups, including The Wilderness Society, Sierra Club, Friends of the River, and the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center, have worked independently on Sierra Nevada issues since the 1980s. The Campaign was formed to coordinate and focus the efforts of its member groups and maximize their effectiveness. The Sierra Campaign became a part of the California Wild Heritage Campaign in 1999, but in 2002 was reestablished as an independent coalition focused exclusively on Sierra Nevada national forest issues. In 2007 the Sierra Navada Forest Protection Campaign changed its name to Sierra Forest Legacy to better reflect its expanded mission and vision of protecting Sierra Nevada forests and communities.
