'Ansel Adams: Open To The Public' Today At The G2 Gallery

Ansel Adams was not just an acclaimed American photographer famous for his black-and-white shots of the American West, he was also an environmentalist. Both traits make him the perfect artist to be featured at The G2 Gallery in Venice, a venue that supports environmental works and organizations. "Ansel Adams: Open to the Public" lives up to its name today and is finally on view, just one day after the 110th anniversary of his birthday. more ›

Hug a Tree or Take a Hike! It's Sierra Club Day

The Sierra Club, one of the nation's most prominent conservation organizations, marks the anniversary of its founding today. The group was founded on May 28, 1892, with just 182 charter members. Their first president was none other than its founder, naturalist John Muir. The Sierra Club's first campaign was to lead an "effort to defeat a proposed reduction in the boundaries of Yosemite National Park." more ›

Protesters Go Out on a Limb to Try to Stop Tree Removal

Protesters who oppose the County's removal of trees in the Arcadia Woodlands took to the trees themselves today in order to offer resistance to the bulldozers poised to take the oaks down. A local Sierra Club member confirmed to Arcadia Patch that the protesters are not affiliated with their organization, but did say that the protesters "had climbed 40 to 50 feet high in the oak trees," in order to make their position known. more ›

Is the Sierra Club Losing Focus?

Is the Sierra Club Losing Focus?

This weekend, it was reported that the Sierra Club is still undecided on Proposition 1, which would authorize a $9.95 billion bond for High Speed Rail (as in less than three years to train it from Los Angeles to San Francisco). Sierra, along with the Conservation League, feel that the train's route through the Pacheco Pass between the Central Valley and San Francisco would cause sprawl in the otherwise underdeveloped region. They rather see it go via another route that is already in a developed area. more ›

Geffen's Ten Feet

Geffen's Ten Feet

The California Coastal Commission voted unanimously last week to sell billionaire David Geffen a 10-foot buffer zone of the public beach that abuts his Carbon Beach-front property in Malibu. For about $140,000, the Trip-C supposedly put to rest a decades-long debate over Geffen's property rights (Geffen finally granted access to the beach in 2005). We visited Carbon Beach to assess how this deal might work out and found only about a dozen or so... more ›

Some Enchanted Evening Hike

Some Enchanted Evening Hike

About a week and a half ago, we went on a sunset hike, and it was just as lovely as the phrase "sunset hike" promises, at least if hiking appeals to you. The hike was run by the Sierra Club 20s and 30s Singles Section, which one can join without joining the Sierra club proper. We had never been on a nighttime hike before, unless you count long treks from campfire to bunk at Girl Scout camp. It was not quite a moonlight hike, because clouds veiled the moon, but the wide path at the top of Temescal Ridge was easy to navigate with a flashlight. more ›
