The Sierra Nevada Alliance’s mission is to protect and restore Sierra Nevada lands, water and wildlife and to support the health, vibrancy and resilience of the region’s rural and urban communities. We do this by strengthening the work of people and organizations committed to the environmental integrity of the Sierra, and by supporting individuals and groups on region-wide efforts consistent with our mission and core values.
Hello! I am excited to share with you the accomplishments and direction of the Sierra Nevada Alliance. During the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year, the Sierra Nevada Alliance completed its 23rd year! Founded in 1993, the Alliance has been protecting and restoring Sierra lands, water, wildlife, and rural communities ever since. We do this by building the capacity of conservation organizations working throughout the region and leading Sierra wide efforts to bring about change.
This past year, the office moved from South Lake Tahoe to a shared location with the Sierra Business Council in Truckee, CA. This partnership is helping both organizations better collaborate on various program initiatives. In addition to this major change, Interim Director, Peter Van Zant, handed over the reigns to me as permanent Executive Director in March 2016. We are excited that Peter has joined our Board of Directors and thank him for his service to the Alliance!
I am overjoyed to be helping lead and rebuild the Alliance into the next chapter! The following report highlights our accomplishments, thanks our supporters, and outlines our plans for the upcoming year. Thank you for taking the time to engage with us!
The Sierra Nevada AmeriCorps Partnership (SNAP) is the keystone of Alliance efforts to implement restoration, science, and environmental education throughout the range. This program provides a crucial resource, in member staff support, to conservation groups throughout Sierra. This year, SNAP completed its 9th and launched its 10th years of service! The two SNAP Programs that ran during this fiscal year (2014-15 and 2015-16) consisted of fifty-eight members at twenty nonprofits, environmental agencies and tribes in sixteen cities across the Sierra. Members served from Redding to Visalia - planting thousands of trees in the Yosemite Rim Fire Burn area, educating students through place based learning, monitoring greenhouse gasses in critical mountain meadows, mapping unused logging roads in national forests, overseeing river assessment programs, decommissioning illegal OHV trails, and much more.
Since 2007, 284 SNAP Members have …
F Restored more than 13,000 watershed acres;
F Monitored more than 2,000 sites;
F Educated more than 165,000 individuals;
F Recruited more than 33,000 volunteers; and
S
The Sierra is a range with many peaks. Only when it is viewed as one mountain range has it inspired national and international attention. The Sierra Nevada Alliance addresses this reality by being a network of many groups united for one region. The Sierra Nevada Alliance aims to protect and restore the Sierra Nevada by strengthening individual efforts and joining together Sierra conservation organizations to be a region-wide force. The most integral component of the Alliance is our strong network of Member Groups. We currently have a network of over 50 regional groups, with over 90 affiliate partners. Along with providing the most customized support possible to each of our Member Groups, the current goal of the Alliance is to expand our network of Member Groups to enable us to provide the most comprehensive, collaborative, inspiring, and influential resource possible.
As a part of the Alliance, Member Groups are a part of a coordinated network making a difference on issues throughout the Sierra. The Alliance and our Member Groups have been working together for over 20 years to protect and restore the natural environment and community values of the Sierra. The Sierra faces extreme challenges in terms of climate change, population growth, and resource management. It is of paramount importance to support local efforts to address these issues, and to protect the Sierra’s special places, while building a network that will be the foundation for future successful efforts.
Member Group Program-Building the Capacity of Conservation Groups Working Throughout The Sierra!
All it takes for an organization to be a Member Group with the Alliance is to endorse the Sierra Nevada Alliance mission statement and submit a small fee to supports the resources the Alliance provides. Along with providing customized and influential resources to member groups, it is also the goal of the Alliance to expand the depth of member groups and affiliates to provide a powerful voice for Sierra conservation and a comprehensive geo-spatial directory of the work being performed throughout the region. To truly be an Alliance and a hub for conservation in the Sierra.
F Gain invaluable support by building staff with an AmeriCorps member. Member Groups pay a discounted rate to have AmeriCorps members placed with their organizations.
F Get funded. The Alliance raises money specifically to re-grant to Member Groups for conservation efforts. The Alliance has re-granted over $250,000 to grassroots efforts of our Member Groups.
F Increase the effectiveness of fundraising efforts. The Alliance sends out notices of funding opportunities and connects Member Groups with grant writing seminars, workshops, and consultants. Member Groups can also send their grant proposals, annual reports, and letters of inquiry to Alliance staff for consultation and review.

F The Alliance participates in major meetings and advocates on behalf of the Sierra region – and we look to Member Groups to guide our positions. Member Groups are polled on issues and consulted on shaping regional strategies.
F The Alliance looks for opportunities to band Member Groups together on regional and statewide efforts to protect and restore the land, water, and air of the Sierra Nevada. For example, our network played a leading role in establishing the Sierra Nevada Conservancy.
F Member Groups elect the Alliance Board of Directors through a democratic process that shapes Alliance actions and conservation efforts. The Alliance is always accountable to its members.
F Receive discounts for all Member Group staff to attend the Sierra Nevada Alliance’s events, including the Conference.

In addition, the Alliance will work whenever possible to facilitate partnerships for greater efficiency, especially amongst like-minded conservation groups (i.e.; watershed groups).
F Reap the benefit of our network’s expertise. The Alliance is unique. No other organization deals with the entire region from a conservation focus. Member Groups never have to reinvent the wheel. Member Groups can send a question or request for help to the Alliance network. Many Member Groups have been organizing in the Sierra for decades, and in many cases have turned volunteer operations into staffed organizations. No one knows as well as an Alliance Member Group what it takes to organize around conservation issues in the Sierra.
Regional Planning to Protect our Natural Environment.
Over the past year, the Regional climate Change Program supported regional efforts to shape, model, natural resource plans to address climate change. Alliance staff has engaged in commenting on the Regional Forest Planning Process as draft plans have been released for the Sierra. The Alliance has joined forces with a coalition of conservation partners’ lead by the Sierra Forest Legacy to provide comment to these plans and share the notices for public engagement with out network. In addition, the Alliance has been involved as a committee member with the Sierra Climate Adaptation Mitigation Program (CAMP), signing on to important legislature.
Moving forward into 2017 with a new strategic direction! With a new, permanent Executive Director at the helm, the Alliance is building an even stronger organization and expanding on its direction moving into 2017. It is our vision moving forward to strengthen how we serve and add value to the conservation community, represent the Sierra with a louder voice, base our work in sound science, affect region-wide policy, grow to mobilize the grassroots advocacy efforts and expand on the AmeriCorps program work we implement currently.
On September 25-26, 2015 over 120 Sierra conservationists attended the Sierra Nevada Alliance’s 21st Conference in Kings Beach, California. Attendees included local, State, and Federal level agencies, technical experts, scientists, and representatives of Alliance member groups.
Conference attendees heard from Sierra experts, as well as State and local leaders about how the conference themes of Climate Change, Drought and Water Policy, Forest Management Practices, and Sierra Natural Capital and Environmental Markets are impacting the Sierra.
Keynote speaker, Elizabeth Martin, CEO of The Sierra Fund, urged the Alliance and its member groups to help increase the visibility of Sierra regional issues in the California State Legislature.
As Ms. Martin pointed out, the Sierra region has very few voices in Sacramento due to a small population, yet the Sierra provides 60% of California’s water, hosts millions of visitors per year, but receives only a fraction of State funding intended for conservation and restoration.
Conference attendees also participated in an informal question and answer session with the Alliance Board of Directors, as well as a facilitated planning session to advise the Sierra Nevada Alliance staff and Board of Directors on its 2015/16 work plan.
The event concluded with a graduation ceremony for 28 members of the 2014/15 Sierra Nevada AmeriCorps Partnership (SNAP) program. The Alliance conducts the SNAP program, which assigns members to different conservation agencies and organizations throughout the Sierra Nevada for on the job training in watershed restoration and education.
