Do you love the outdoors? Outings can be hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing, walking, bird watching, rock climbing or other activities that get people outdoors. We sponsor and participate in numerous environmental-related activities including films, meetings, and events. Check out our calendar to see what's happening in Delaware. To become a certified outings leader all you need to do is complete an easy training and be basic first aid certified. If you are interested in leading an outing, contact Marissa McClenton

Data center threatens Delaware. We’re fighting back!

We want to call special attention to our fight against the mega data center proposed for Delaware City, which would harm its vulnerable neighbors, impact crucial wetlands, and cause electricity bills to skyrocket for Delaware families.

You can learn more about the data center here and take action here. 

Would you like to get even more involved? We are currently organizing canvassing sessions in the most impacted communities directly across from the proposed data center. Anybody interested in canvassing should contact Marissa at marissa.mcclenton@sierraclub.org.
