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.

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.
