What we’re about

The Sierra Club is the nation's oldest and largest grassroots environmental organization, with over 700,000 members nationwide. These individuals are using grassroots activism and community action to protect America's environment, for our families, for our future. We are part of the Florida Chapter of the National Sierra Club. Our group, the Central Florida Sierra Club, comprises over 2,100 members in Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola Counties. Our goal is to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth. Join our meetup to learn about the outings we go on and events that we do.

Thu, Sep 25, 2025, 7:00 PM EDTSierra Club Book Club - The Overstory by Richard Powers
Needs location
Join us for the third meeting of the Sierra Club's book club, where we will be discussing The Overstory by Richard Powers. The winner of a Pulitzer prize, this book tells the stories of nine people connected by nature. From the back cover: "From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe."

The book may be available at local libraries, as well as other platforms of your choosing. If you prefer to purchase a copy, we encourage local bookstores!

The location is still being determined; check back closer to the event date for more information! This event is free and open to the public. Feel free to come join us even if you don't get a chance to finish the book. We hope to see you there!

Sat, Oct 4, 2025, 8:00 AM EDTFree guided tour of The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail
Scrub Jay Trail, Clermont , FL
Updated: 9-7-2025.

It is really important to call/email for reservations (352)-429-5566 or e-mail info@scrubjaytrail.org to ensure your spot.

Free guided tours of The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail

In this 2 hour tour, you will learn about the status of the Florida scrub-jay and its habitat; walk the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail; observe a family of resident jays; learn about the native plants of the Florida Scrub and proper planting techniques; plant trees and shrubs on the Trail, and learn how to contribute to the preservation of the species on their own property.

Tours are offered October - March.

This tour is part of the overall citizen effort by the Florida Scrub-Jay Consortium to save the federally threatened Florida scrub-jay, Florida's only endemic bird species, meaning it only lives in Florida. Florida is home to many scrub-jays.

The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail identifies scrub-jay habitat across the state of Florida to increase the scrub-jay's territory. Landowners who have spotted scrub-jays on their properties are encouraged to contact the Florida Scrub-Jay Consortium to find out how to become a part of the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail.

For more information about the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail,

Reservations for the stewardship program are suggested to assure a spot. Call (352)-429-5566 or e-mail info@scrubjaytrail.org. |
