Dallas Sierra Club Calendar

Due to COVID-19, Dallas Sierra Club fundraising activities have been severely limited, but our work on social and environmental justice, wilderness preservation, clean air and clean water, and a mountain of other issues goes on. We need your help to keep us in the fight!

Contributions to the Dallas Sierra Club on North Texas Giving Day will be matched at a rate of approximately 6% plus the Club will be eligible for special bonuses. For more information, see https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/sierra-club-foundation-fiscal-sponsor-for-dallas-sierra-club. You can submit a donation now to be automatically charged on the 23rd.

Outings leaders and prospective leaders will meet via Zoom at 7 PM to set details for the Feb. 9-13 outing at Big Bend National Park. We want multiple leaders for at least three hiking groups. Current outings leaders will receive a link to the Wed., Sept. 29 meeting on or about Mon., Sept. 27. Others interested in this planning session may reply by email by Sept. 26 to receive the meeting link and agenda. There may be opportunities for a "provisional lead" for prospective leaders who (a) will have completed Outdoor Leader Training before February, (b) have participated in Dallas Sierra Club overnight outings, and (c) participate in the Sept. 29 planning session. The session will last about one hour.  Organizer: Mark Stein Send Email 214-789-4596

SAVE THIS WEEKEND for Outings Leader Training for new leaders! Whether your interest is day hikes or multi-day backpacking, the Dallas Sierra Club actively seeks new leaders. We've reserved the heated meeting space and dining hall at Eisenhower State Park, near Denison, for new leader training. Sleep Saturday night in your tent or inside the building on your air mattress or cot. Come for tales from current leaders and role-playing situations you might experience as a leader. The only fee for the weekend is a $10 park admission. This is an event offered only once every year or two. Don't miss it! Call or email for inquiries.  Coordinator: Mark Stein Send Email 214-526-3733

We've reserved campsites in the Chisos Basin and Rio Grande Village for the nights of Feb. 9 through Feb. 12, 2022. At this early date, we've not determined a definitive menu of options. Parts of the Chisos Basin burned this spring, but fire has long been a part of the Chisos ecosystem. See it for yourself this February. SAVE the DATES. Watch for registration to open in mid-October.
