The Rogue Group of the Oregon Chapter Sierra Club is based in Ashland, Oregon. Our meetings are usually held at the Headwaters Environmental Building, 84 4th St, Ashland. The Groups work focuses on the proposed ski expansion on Mt. Ashland, the Klamath Basin, protecting the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, and much, much more.
The Group has an active Overnight Backpacking Outings program in the Summer months. Members and non-members are invited to join these hikes around beautiful Southern Oregon. See the Get Outdoors! link for more information.
The Rogue Group covers a very large area and has Activity Sections in Grants Pass, the Illinois Valley and Curry County whose purpose is to focus on more localized activities and issues. See the "Contact Us" link for information on how to contact the section leaders.
