David Brower Celebration & Fundraiser

The David Brower Celebration
Like Sierra Club founder John Muir, David was a mountaineer who loved the American wilderness. In 1952, David became the Sierra Clubs first Executive Director, growing its membership by 75,000 during his seventeen years with the organization. He was a very active member of the SF Bay Chapter of the Sierra Club. While at the SF Bay Chapter, David helped create the influential Yodeler newspaper, and became its first editor. David also helped establish nine national parks and seashores including Redwood National Park and Point Reyes National Seashore. Under Davids leadership, the Sierra Club led a successful effort to stop the damming in the Grand Canyon. David ran full page ads in the NY Times asking Americans, Should we also flood the Sistine Chapel so tourists can get nearer the ceiling? Both his relentless organizing and creative strategies have come to symbolize the spirit of the Sierra Club.
