The Sierra Club has been working to protect the Giant Sequoias for over 100 years - beginning with the Club founder John Muir’s initial work to establish Sequoia National Park in 1890. Over the next century, the Sierra Club continued to fight, and defeat, numerous attempts by the timber industry to destroy these magnificent lands.

Most recently the Club and its dedicated volunteers have been working to transfer management of the Monument from the National Forest Service to the National Park Service to protect it from future commercial logging.
