Saving The Sierra: Voices of Conservation in Action explores the geographic, political and philosophical boundaries of the new Sierra Nevada Conservancy. Through public media and citizen storytelling, the project documents community efforts to conserve the environment, culture, and economy of the Sierra Nevada.

Saving The Sierra focuses on the challenges and successes of conservation in the rural and remote communities of the range that is home to more than two million Californians. The Sierra is also home to majestic Yosemite National Park, sparkling Lake Tahoe, and towering giant sequoias, as well as burgeoning resort developments and suburban style residential and commercial sprawl that threaten the sustainability of rural life and the environmental integrity of the region.
