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
Tuesday, June 30th at 12 PM
Location: Legislative Hall: 411 Legislative Ave, Dover, DE 19901, USA
June 30th is kind of a big deal for us policy wonks. It’s the culmination of the session’s hard work in one final voting extravaganza. There is usually drama, laughs, tears, and hard goodbyes (we have lots of retirements this year).
This year, we will be down in Dover all day, and you can join us by RSVPing below!
But if you're not coming down, you can follow all the action on our social media accounts. We will be posting live on our BlueSky account and live-streaming videos with legislators, advocates, and other organizations on our Instagram and Facebook feeds.
It's going to be quite a time, so however you plug in, make sure to follow us on June 30th into the wee hours of July 1st (if history is any indication, we will be there into the morning of July 1).
Join Us for the Last Day of Session!
Sunday, July 5th at 11 AM
Location: 5025 Killens Pond Rd, Felton, DE 19943, USA
Join us for a nice 4th of July guided weekend hike around Killens Pond! We will be using our expertise (and our phones) to identify various plants and exploring around the pond for turtles and other wildlife. We will also discuss the fun work the Sierra Club has accomplished during the legislative session and our plans for the summer and fall!
Tickets are $5 for Members and $10 for non-members. The ticket price does not cover parking, which is normally $5 for DE Residents and $10 for out-of-state. There will be snacks and drinks provided at the end of the hike.
Saturday, July 18th at 1 PM
Location: Cape Henlopen State Park
Join us as we celebrate Global Wind Day at Cape Henlopen State Park! You will get a chance to meet other people curious or supportive about offshore wind and hear from speakers who can share the current status of the journey to secure clean and renewable energy!
The event is free for members with a coupon code. Email Marissa.McClenton@SierraClub.
We will be meeting at the Main Pavilion at Cape Henlopen State Park. You may have to pay for state park entry ($5 for Delaware residents/ $10 for out of state). Parking costs are not covered by the ticket cost.
Date: Monday, July 20th at 6:30 - 8:00 PM
Location: Zoom
Join us on July 20th at 6:30 PM to learn more about the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a vital program that helps clean our air and provide vital funding for services that Delawareans depend upon.
This information session will give you a brief overview of what the program does, how it works, what the funding is used for, and how Delawareans benefit every day. We will also work to prepare comments for the upcoming hearing being held by DNREC on July 28th at 6:00 PM on Webex.
Sunday, July 26th at 8:30 AM
Location: Arden Club Gild Hall
Come take a cool hike in Arden Forest along the scenic and rocky south branch of Naaman’s Creek. This will include a new section in the adjacent Sunnyside Nature Preserve. Local plant experts will discuss the reforestation efforts and notable flora. The hike will be challenging because we’ll be hiking over and through a boulder area and making two difficult stream crossings. Bring poles if you have them.
Sunday, August 9th; Picnic from 1 - 3 PM; Hiking and Games at 3 PM
Location: Killens Pond State Park Pavilion 2
Join us at Killens Pond for our annual end-of-session celebration! This year, we are going to have an enticing spread of food lovingly crafted by our volunteer board members and staff, live music, and tons of fun games for people of all ages to enjoy.
Some folks will also take part in a nice hike around portions of the pond, but it’s totally voluntary. Others are going to stay at the pavilion we have rented for the day and launch into some environmental-themed board games until sundown.
The event is free for members, but all ticket proceeds help pay for the event and the great work we are doing in Delaware!
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.
