The Sierra Institute for Community and Environment is dedicated to advancing rural
community well-being and sustainable ecosystems. Founded in 1993, we are a non-profit
research and education organization based in the rural northern Sierra Nevada. We work locally,
regionally, and nationally to bridge the thinking among people with different – and often
competing – ideas about communities and natural resources.
