About us
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, May 11, 2025, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Book Club where we will discuss "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson.
From Good Reads - Abundance explains that our problems today are not the results of yesteryear’s villains. Rather, one generation’s solutions have become the next generation’s problems. Rules and regulations designed to solve the environmental problems of the 1970s often prevent urban density and green energy projects that would help solve the environmental problems of the 2020s. Laws meant to ensure that government considers the consequences of its actions in matters of education and healthcare have made it too difficult for government to act consequentially. In the last few decades, our capacity to see problems has sharpened while our ability to solve them has diminished.
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.
