Issues We Care About
Here you will find background information about environmental issues in which the San Gorgonio Chapter is involved.
The Mid-County Parkway is a plan to build a six-eight-lane freeway from San Jacinto to the I-15 in Corona and eventually to continue on to Irvine by boring two or three tunnels through the Santa Ana Mountains. The project will require demolishing over 100 homes and a fire station and park in Perris, will decimate existing designated open space and will lead to tens of thousands of new homes to be built.

Members of the San Gorgonio Chapter of the Sierra Club have long appreciated the very special qualities of our local mountains. An unusual transverse mountain range of steep slopes running East/West, it boasts a wide variety of ecological habitats and climes varying from low, hot desert valleys to beautiful high-elevation conifer forests. "Our" mountains support an abundance of species, and boast one of the more biologically diverse National Forests in the nation.
