Sierra Club John Muir Award
The Sierra Club John Muir Award was awarded annually by the Sierra Club.
It was the club's highest award. According to the Sierra Club, "it honors a distinguished record of leadership in national conservation causes, such as continuing John Muir's work of preservation and establishment of parks and wildernesses."
Due to the Sierra Club's re-evaluation's of John Muir legacy in the context of racial justice, the John Muir Award was discontinued in 2020, after which the club's highest award was named the Changemaker of the Year Award starting in 2021.
