	Pikes Peak Group Rocky Mountain Chapter
.. Explore, enjoy and protect the planet.

Welcome
Our Group welcomes anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to meet others with the same love. We welcome anyone who is concerned about the natural environment and wants to learn more. We welcome those who want to help protect our natural heritage by joining in political action. The Pikes Peak Group, currently almost 2,000 members strong, is proud of contributing to that important preservation effort. We are here to help you enjoy, explore, and protect the planet. All of our outings and general meetings are open to the public. Please join us.

Statement of Purpose
To explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the earth; to practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.

Mission
The Sierra Club is a nonprofit member supported, public interest organization that promotes conservation of the natural environment by influencing public policy decisions - legislative, administrative, legal, and electoral.

Location
The Pikes Peak Regional Group includes all of El Paso county, plus parts of Teller, Park, and Elbert counties in Colorado.

"The earth may be borrowed but not bought. It may be used but not owned.
We are the tenants and not possessors, lovers and not masters.
The Earth belongs to the wind and the rain, to the sun and all seasons,
to the cosmic secrecy of seed, and beyond all, to time."

- Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Pale Blue Dot

"This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere;
the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising.
Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and glowing,
on sea and continues and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."

- John Muir

Peak to Plains Alliance

Peak to Plains Alliance was formed to showcase some of the most notable locally owned food and agricultural businesses in El Paso County. All of the locations are special because they are owned by people who care about the land, the community, and the preservation of our heritage.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds, the ebb and flow of tides, the folded bud ready for spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after the night and spring after the winter."

– Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
