Why I Belong to the Sierra Club The reason that I support the Sierra Club with my time, my activism and financially is that the Sierra Club is the most effective, grassroots environmental organization on the planet. The Crossroads Group of the Sierra Club is the "environmental conscience" of our local communities. Who else will speak out loudly for the quiet places that each of us cherish? The Sierra Club is an effective leader for environmental education, lobbying, litigation, political action, getting legislation passed and enforced, etc. at the national, state and local levels. The Sierra Club continues to fight for such basic human rights as clean water and clean air while taking on the more complex issues of energy and global climate change. In addition to a lot of hard and challenging work, our members have fun. The Sierra Club offers local, state and national outings for families, members and nonmembers that enjoy outdoor activities and being outdoors. There is a peace and spirituality that comes from being connected to the Great Outdoors and those that haven't experienced it don't always value wilderness or wildness in the same way that we do. I belong to the Sierra Club so we can enjoy, as well as preserve and protect wildlife and wild places for future generations. --Lorne Beatty Livingston Natural Features Coalition Presentation/Workshops Many Livingston County residents relocated here to live in the country. They value the county's rural atmosphere, open spaces, forests, lakes and other natural areas. However, many of these resources are quickly disappearing. These losses are a risk to our water and air quality, recreational opportunities and property values. . . .. To read more of this article in our last newsletter, click here.

Crossroads Group School Grant The Crossroads Group is very pleased to announce a $1,000 grant to be given to a local Livingston County school project focused on an environmental-, conservation- or wildlife-related subject. We plan on having application information to the schools in the fall to plan for an early 2006 award for the best project. With this grant, we hope to foster knowledge, concern, and a lifelong commitment to our natural heritage. Part of the requirements for projects will be a presentation to the general membership of our group to allow all to participate and see our funds at work in educating the next generation of environmentally aware citizens. To request the grant, or for any questions or comments, please contact Paul Thielking. Brighton Township Tree Ordinance Put on Hold To read articles on this subject, click here, here, and here.
