What we’re about
Sierra Club is a national organization dedicated to explore, enjoy and protect the planet. This group is for anyone looking for outdoor activities, environmental programs and education and ways to make our community greener! Virtually all are FREE and open to everyone - you do not need to be a Sierra Club member to participate.
The Sierra Club groups of the Greater Tampa Bay Florida area includes the Suncoast Sierra Club group (serving Pinellas and Western Pasco & Western Hernando Counties) and the Tampa Bay Sierra Club (serving Hillsborough and Eastern Pasco & Eastern Hernando Counties) as well as our Tampa Bay ICO, Inspiring Connections Outdoors via Youth Outings for Pinellas and Hillsborough. With several thousand members, our local groups organize and participates in outdoor adventures, environmental education and public awareness, youth outings, environmental activism and lobbying of our local and state government for pro-environmental legislation.

We will walk the boardwalk and Old Cypress trail.
The boardwalk is along the Hillsborough River downstream of the road bridge. We frequently see alligators, otters, squirrels, and multiple birds. There are a multitude of different plants. The boardwalk is wheelchair accessible.
The Bald Cypress Trail is nearby. It's a somewhat short shaded hard packed dirt path with occasional roots and potholes. It's perhaps 1/4 mile in length.
Next to the parking area are bathrooms with the front graced by the local Native Plant Society with Florida's native plants. Most of the plants have an informative sign. Good way to learn about them.
Sometimes there are mosquitoes. Have some repellent available just in case. There is a water fountain available, but bring a quart or water for the walk. Binoculars could be useful.
Learn about Sierra Club Conservation efforts.
Remember we are there to enjoy the nature and explore. Make a new friend. I hope to see you there.
