October Forest Walk Visits Hudson Woods and Sea Center October 25 (Sat) - On Saturday, October 25, 2008, the Houston Sierra Club will have a two for one outing. In the morning we will visit Hudson Woods, a prime Columbia Bottomland habitat and a unit of the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge. Then we will have lunch at a local restaurant and in the afternoon visit Sea Center in Lake Jackson. Sea Center is operated by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and is a fish hatchery, aquarium, and wetlands showplace. Bring your daypack, water, hiking shoes, cameras, bug repellant, sunscreen, field guides, binoculars, and clothes to fit the weather. Long pants are highly recommended! We will meet at 7:30 a.m., Rice University, Entrance 13A. Look for a blue Plymouth Neon. The Forest Walk is limited to 15 people. Call Brandt at 713-664-5962 or email him at brandtshnfbt@juno.com so he can get your name, phone number, and email and place you on the list. The information will be used to contact you in case the Forest Walk is canceled due to inclement weather. MORE EVENTS==>

Message from the Chair - The Houston Sierra Club Needs You Dear Houston Sierra Club Member, It's time for the Houston Sierra Club's annual fundraising drive again. It takes both dedication and money to keep our local work going. The Houston Group receives only 50 cents per member in dues subvention from the national Sierra Club, which usually allows us about $2,500 per year. That covers the printing and mailing costs of just two of the ten issues of the "Bayou Banner". That still leaves the other eight issues, paying for meeting room & telephone, and of course our vital conservation work. (Oct 08) MORE NEWS==>
