General Meeting
October Club Meeting: Urban Wildlife
Guest speaker: TPWD's Rachel Rickter
Join us on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden to hear Rachel Richter, an urban wildlife biologist from Texas Parks and Wildlife for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She will discuss how wildlife survives in our cities and the ways that having wildlife in our communities benefits us. Many of us have seen bobcats and coyotes in our urban areas and even neighborhoods as their habitat shrinks.
Last Meeting to bring Pre-Meeting Refreshments!
If you would like to satisfy your savory or your sweet tooth cravings, please bring a light dish to share (APPETIZERS, SALAD, MUNCHIES or a DESSERT) to our meeting. And don't forget to bring your own non-alcoholic drink of choice.
We encourage guests to arrive early, between 6:35-6:45 PM, to partake of food prior to the start of the meeting, but if you just want to attend the meeting, come at 7:00 PM for our presentation.

Protect the Paluxy Valley and Save Dinosaur Valley State Park -Take Action!
Dinosaur Valley State Park, the Paluxy River and the surrounding Chalk Mountain region near Glen Rose, Texas are at risk due to planned development projects including a hyper-scale data center, gas power plants, and close-proximity power lines. Help us team up to safeguard the prehistoric heritage and natural wonder of these treasured and important ecosystems.
Our Sierra Group is engaging with Protect the Paluxy Valley, a Paluxy community-driven advocacy group focused on real action to protect the Paluxy Valley environment. Link to their website to learn more and see specific actions to take to support and join their efforts.
In addition, we are engaging with The Dinosaur Valley - Paluxy River Protection Alliance, an alliance of local businesses and community stakeholders with specific focus on redirecting the path of the planned Oncor power lines in close-proximity to the State Park. Link to their website for actions from this alliance that focus on the power line placement specifically.
