About the event:

On April 19, the mountains are coming to Sacramento. Sierra Day at the Capitol is an event coordinated by Sierra Nevada Alliance, Sierra Business Council, and The Sierra Fund to advocate for resource investments, state policy changes, and specific budget asks to support our collective conservation and restoration goals for the Sierra Nevada.

Members of the conservation community and the interested public are invited to attend. Together, we will advocate for critical actions to bring more protection, support, and government dollars to the vastly underfunded Sierra Nevada region.

Participants will hear from key state and regional leaders, network with like-minded individuals and organizations, receive training about how to share messaging with legislators, and conduct advocacy at the Capitol.

Register today and support the Sierra Nevada region, and California’s waters, biodiversity, recreation, and air quality.

Our priorities:

This year, we will focus on restoring funding to effective state programs that use nature-based solutions and conservation efforts to build climate, wildfire, water, and community resilience in the Sierra and beyond.
