Sierra Club Visits Exploration Green
8:30 AM - 2:00 PM Central
Saturday, June 13, 2026, 8:30 am, the Houston Sierra Club will visit and enjoy wetlands, wildflowers, ponds, and walking trails at Exploration Green. Exploration Green is 200 acres of parkland that used to be a golf course. The 200 acres have been turned into a green space for flood control, recreation (hike/bike trails), and wildlife observation.
The link below has the Sierra Club participant sign-in agreement/liability waiver. Read this before the outing. We’ll sign-in quickly at Exploration Green and proceed with the outing.
