About the Northern New Mexico Group

The Northern New Mexico Group is one of five regional groups within the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club.

The Northern Group includes communities from Cochiti Puebo north to the border of Colorado. Our primary focus during election years is to endorse and actively support good environmental candidates. Other activities include activism on wildlife (especially reform of the Game Commission), protecting riparian areas, insuring that State, City and County projects include salient commitments to solar, working with outdoor groups to maintain and improve multi-use trails, working with native communities to insure clean air and water, fighting for responsible management of energy distribution (like objecting to the proposed LANL power line bisecting the Caja del Rio), sponsoring hikes, working to enable community-centric water testing, and engaging in community organizations to minimize impacts to our air and water.
