San Carlos/Belmont Sierra
Club Group
Loma Prieta Chapter
The Sierra Club
We are a regional group in the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra
Club. Our members are residents of San Carlos and Belmont,
California. The Loma Prieta Chapter is one of the many chapters that
constitute the national Sierra Club and includes San Mateo, Santa
Clara, and San Benito Counties. Our purpose is to enjoy the many
local walking and hiking opportunities, to build and maintain trails,
to preserve the environment that makes this area so special, and to
encourage others to be a part of these activities.
We meet each month except July and August. Our usual meetings include a
hike and then a potluck supper followed by a program. These are
normally held on the third weekend of the month. We emphasize
rather easy hikes close to home and programs relevant to our two cities
(with a few exceptions for variety)
We have a volunteer program with the City of San Carlos Parks and
Recreation Department. We have built and continue to maintain
trails in two city parks: Big Canyon Park and Eaton Park.
We try to keep abreast of Belmont and San Carlos city proposed projects
that have environmental consequences. We work with the cities to make
these projects environmentally responsible. We are active in
providing assistance on regional and national environmental issues and
projects also.
We welcome volunteers to assist in trail building and maintenance. We
do this in the morning on most Tuesdays.
There are also opportunities for volunteers to keep abreast of
City Council and Planning Commission agendas to identify local issues
of an environmental nature.
Anyone who wishes to participate in our volunteer activities can
e-mail to sierra.club@comcast.net
or you may call and leave
a message for Bob at 650-592-2166.
