About the Central New Mexico Group

The Central New Mexico Group of the Rio Grande Chapter covers the middle part of the state. Our volunteer leaders are active in many areas.

We advocate to protect air, water, wildlife, and land. Our Grassroots Lobbyists make the environmental voice heard loud and clear at the Roundhouse – and on a daily basis to our local elected and government officials.

Our Outings have returned! We follow Covid-safe practices and offer a wide range of experiences. And we are always looking for leaders! Debbie Bryant bryade@gmail.com

The Political Committee has been extremely active the last few years! We endorse candidates and volunteer for them. We believe that strong environmental leaders make the best elected officials. For great examples please read the Sierran on our website.

Our office location is 2215 Lead Ave. SE, Albuquerque 87106, phone (505) 243-7767.

Join us for one of our Executive Committee meetings – we would love to see you! Contact the Chair, Susan Gorman for more info.

Sierra Club and Beer: we gather on the first Friday, every other month, for our speaker series and some time together. The schedule, details and rsvp is on our calendar.
