The goal of Sierra Club's Military Outdoors (SCMO) is to improve the lives of military members, veterans, and their families through connections with the outdoors and inspire members of this community to become outspoken champions for environmental conservation and justice.
Studies show that spending time in nature can have profound recuperative effects for veterans, improving physical and mental health as well as overall well-being. That is why SCMO works every day to ensure that military members, veterans, and their families can enjoy the beauty of nature by supporting programs and policies that remove barriers preventing them from experiencing the great outdoors. That work includes local and national outings for veterans, advocating for veteran employment in the outdoors, and fighting for supportive legislation.
