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, August 10, 2026, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Nature Book Club where we will discuss "A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness" by Michael Pollan.
From Good Reads - When neuroscientists began studying consciousness in the early 1990s, they sought to explain how and why three pounds of spongy gray matter could generate a subjective point of view—assuming that the brain is the source of our perceived reality. He introduces us to “plant neurobiologists” searching for the first flicker of consciousness in plants, scientists striving to engineer feelings into AI, and psychologists and novelists seeking to capture the felt experience of our slippery stream of consciousness.
In Pollan’s dazzling exploration of consciousness, he discovers a world far deeper and stranger than our everyday reality. Eye-opening and mind-expanding, A World Appears takes us into the laboratories of our own minds, ultimately showing us how we might make better use of the gift of awareness to more meaningfully connect with the world and our deepest selves.
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.

Greater FW Sierra Club Environmental & Nature Book Club
Fielder House Museum, 1616 W. Abram St., Arlington, TX, USJoin us on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 6:30 PM for our Environmental & Nature Book Club where we will discuss "The City and the Coming Climate" by Brian Stone, Jr.
From Good Reads & Amazon: This book is the first to explore the dramatic amplification of global warming underway in cities and the range of actions that individuals and governments can undertake to slow the pace of warming. A core thesis of the book is that the principal strategy currently advocated to mitigate climate change--the reduction of greenhouse gases--will not prove sufficient to measurably slow the rapid pace of warming in urban environments. Brian Stone explains the science of climate change in terms accessible to the nonscientist and with compelling anecdotes drawn from history and current events. The book is an ideal introduction to climate change and cities for students, policy makers, and anyone who wishes to gain insight into an issue critical to the future of our cities and the people who live in them.
We always have great discussions, and all are invited whether you have read the book or not.
Our meeting will be held at:
