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, December 8, 2025, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Book Club where we will discuss "The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters" by Christine Webb.
From the internet: Harvard primatologist Christine Webb has spent years researching the rich social, emotional, and cognitive lives of our closest living relatives. She exposes the ways that many scientific studies are biased against other species and reveals underappreciated complexities of nonhuman life—from the language of songbirds and prairie dogs, to the cultures of chimpanzees and reef fishes, to the acumen of plants and fungi. With compelling stories and fresh research, she gives us a paradigm-shifting way of looking at other organisms on their own terms, one that is revolutionizing our perception both of them and of ourselves.
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, TX
This location is a very nice place to meet, and we are allowed to have food and beverages.
