Welcome to the Pajarito Group of the Sierra Club!
This group encompasses members from the areas of Los Alamos and Jemez Springs.
We are part of the Rio Grande Chapter.

Earth Day
"The Tree of Life” is the theme for the Los Alamos 2009 Earth Day at PEEC, 3540 Orange Street, behind the High School. We seek both volunteers and visitors for our Pajarito booth. We tentatively plan to feature two activities: first, an art table where all ages can draw their vision of Life; second, a computer simulation of global-warming scenarios under varying conditions of CO2 production and forest cover/deforestation. This simulation, developed by a group of 6th graders, can run the program using different levels of carbon production and sequestration. Volunteering is an opportunity for you to participate in the spirit of Earth Day by teaching and inspiring people to pay attention to, as well as express their love for, our Earth. Please call Ilse Bleck at 505/662-2368.

The Sierra Club mission statement is:

  • Explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth;
  • Practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources;
  • Educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment;
  • Use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.


  • We welcome and encourage anyone who is interested in these general goals, or specific issues to join us! We have a monthly public meeting the first Wednesday of each month. We have a guest speaker on a specific topic and also discuss any currently relevant issues of which the group should be aware. We have organized hikes in the surrounding areas, mountain bike riding, and cross country skiing. Our activities are planned with all levels of fitness and we would love to have you join us! Please see our calendar of events.

    Volunteering for the Pajarito Group: Do you have a profoundly inspirational idea about how to save the earth, lead a hike or teach a kid? Do you want to share that idea but don't know how? Do you like to explore the outdoors and want to make friends with like-minded enthusiasts. Well, those outlets are exactly what Sierra Club provides. On the national and local level,the Sierra Club is the activist group, the venue, the inspirational assistant for your environmental ideas. Please, become involved. Our local Pajarito Group has over 400 people ready to help get out the vote, start a project, join a hike and develop environmental programs. All it takes to begin is the Power of One. Please contact any of our committe members.

    We welcome submissions of information. See our site policy.
