The Rincon Group, started in 1966, is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. It is part of the Sierra Club, founded in 1892. The Sierra Club motto is to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet.
The Sierra Club is one of the oldest grassroots environmental organizations in the United States. There are more than 3,000 Sierra Club members in the Tucson area. We call ourselves the Rincon Group! The Rincon Group supports education, environmental activism, and careful, informed and caring stewardship of resources as a means to preserve the planet for future generations. To that end, the Rincon Group provides educational monthly programs concerning environmental issues affecting Southern Arizona, alerts to, and information on, getting involved in environmental issues (with an emphasis on those issues of interest in Southern Arizona), the opportunity to participate in outings to explore nature in Southern Arizona, and periodic newsletters which provide articles on environmental issues affecting Southern Arizona.
