Sierra Club “Sierra Club” established in 1892 in San Francisco Founded by naturalist John Muir 182 charter members

Preservation vs Conservation Preservationists, like John Muir, believed that the wilderness should be protected from all commercial interests. Conservationists believed in using resources for economic interests and then replenishing them

Conservation Movement 1900 President Theodore Roosevelt “the conservation president” When he took office about 45 million acres were reserved by the US government When he left office more than 150 million acres had been set aside

President Roosevelt and John Muir

Roosevelt Conservation Policy Chief Forester under Roosevelt was Gifford Pinchot He preached the efficient use of natural resources, and permitted grazing, lumbering, and the development of hydroelectric power. He fought development only when he thought business interests acted irresponsibly

San Francisco Earthquake earthquake precipitated a conflict between preservationists and conservationists Most bitter example was the Hetch-Hetchy dam in Yosemite

Hetch Hetchy To fill a natural valley in Yosemite with water to supply San Francisco? The name “Hetch Hetchy” comes from a grass with edible seeds that grows in the valley, from the native Miwok language

Sierra Club lost its attempt to save the valley at Hetch Hetchy Conflict within the Sierra Club, but the membership voted by a large majority to oppose a dam and reservoir at Hetch Hetchy.

Hetch Hetchy circa 1913

Hetch Hetchy circa 1920

Hetch Hetchy reservoir today Do you think the dam should be removed and the valley restored to its natural state?

Today, the Sierra Club has 1.3 million members
