Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center
The Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center (CSERC) has effectively served as the foremost environmental defender of more than 2,000,000 acres of forests, rivers, lakes, wetlands, roadless areas, old growth groves, scenic oak woodlands, and other precious areas within the central region of the Sierra Nevada.
Each year, they deal with clearcutting, new road construction, huge new development projects, the spraying of pesticides, destruction of wildlife habitat, and other threats to wild places and open space.
Because CSERC is located in the midst of a region that is still dominated by proponents of mining, logging, grazing, development, and aggressive use of resources, CSERC is often the only voice for nature speaking up locally at hearings and meetings. CSERC is also the only conservation organization that actively monitors the full range of logging, mining, grazing, development, and water projects in the local area.
