The
John Muir Chapter annually recognizes volunteers and
organizations through its annual award program, but
we need your help to identify these deserving citizens.
So, take the time to think about those within your group
or community that inspire you with their volunteer charity
and nominate them for a Sierra Club award.
The
John Muir Chapter has identified six
award categories that honor volunteers, government
official, or organizations that champion environmental
protection. Review the awards and what they represent
to craft your nomination. For a list of 2004 and newer
recipients click
