MegaGuy

Make your voice heard! City council decisions, regulatory actions, legislation in Austin; we need to be ready to act at a moment's notice to support the good and stop the bad.
Sometimes all it takes is a simple phone call or email message to sway the opinion of our local elected leaders and officials. Contact us and we will add you to our Alamo Sierra Club Action Alert Email List. You don't have to be a Sierra Club member to receive our alerts, (but we do hope you'll join us).

Next Outing

Bracken Bat Cave

Monday, June 4th: Bracken Bat Cave in San Antonio, TX

The Alamo Group of the Sierra Club cordially invites you to join us on a Bracken Bat Flight Experience! During our special evening program we will learn all about BATS, our fascinating and misunderstood mammal friends as we observe them "cave-side" as they emerge to commence their nightly feeding frenzy!

Our always popular and informative presentation will be conducted by a Trained Interpretive Guide of Bat Conservation International [See the website at batcon.org]. Share with us as we are introduced to the special world of MEXICAN FREETAIL BATS, some 20 million strong, who reside at Bracken Cave every summer.
