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, July 13, 2026, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Book Club where we will discuss "Jungle Keeper: What it Takes to Change the World" by Paul Rosolie.
From Good Reads - A kid from Brooklyn who obeyed an undeniable sense of calling to the outdoors, Rosolie found himself immersed in the drama of an entirely different world, the Amazon―and joining with indigenous people and organizations across the globe in an existential struggle to protect it from the encroaching threat of industrial society. Readers will meet unimaginably large snakes that Rosolie must wrangle, jaguars pushed out of their territory by deforestation, monkeys whose home is a canopy humans have yet to understand, a near-miraculous Amazonian water system, and previously uncontacted indigenous people struggling to protect their homes from industrialism.
We always have great discussions, and all are invited whether you have read the book or not.
