What we’re about
The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 by conservationist John Muir. Since then, the Sierra Club has been working to protect communities, wild places, and the planet itself. The Sierra Club is headquartered in Oakland, California, and is the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States, with 3.8 million members and supporters throughout the country. Our official motto is "Explore, Enjoy and Protect the Planet." We hope that you will join us in our endeavors to do just that!
If you are interested in: day hikes/overnight camping trips/backpacking trips/canoe trips/trails projects/conservation, education and activism, then you've come to the right place. We have group outings both locally and in other areas of Texas and the U.S.
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at Redbud Hall of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, every month except August, when we take a summer break. We start each meeting with an optional potluck of light fare (snacks/salads/desserts) at 6:30, followed at 7:00 by a brief discussion of local environmental issues and announcements about our upcoming outings and events, followed by our speaker presentation.

Greater FW Sierra Club Environmental & Nature Book Club
Fielder House Museum, 1616 W. Abram St., Arlington, TX, USJoin us on Monday Nov 10, 2025, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Book Club where we will discuss "After the Spike - Population, Progress, and the Case for People" by Dean Spears and Michael Geruso.
From Amazon - Spears and Geruso investigate what depopulation would mean for the climate, for living standards, for equity, for progress, for freedom, for humanity’s general welfare. And what it would mean if, instead, people came together to share the work of caregiving and of building societies where parenting fits better with everything else that people aspire to.
With new evidence and sharp insights, Spears and Geruso make a lively and compelling case for stabilizing the population—without sacrificing our dreams of a greener future or reverting to past gender inequities.
We always have great discussions, and all are invited whether you have read the book or not.
Our meeting will be held at:
Fielder Museum
1616 W Abrams Str
Arlington, TXThis location is a very nice place to meet, and we are allowed to have food and beverages.
