California and specifically the Sierra Nevada region is both an old and new extractive frontier, with hotspots of environmental injustice. Abandoned gold rush era mines have left a toxic legacy that continues to impact communities and ecosystems. Recently, high gold prices have sparked renewed interest in exploration for open pit mines, threatening biologically diverse and sacred landscapes from the Sierras to the desert. 

Join us to learn about mining threats in the Sierra Nevada: what is happening, what are the impacts, how it conflicts with the State and National conservation goals, and what we can do to help. We are pleased to offer the opportunity for the general public to join for FREE.
