John Bunker Sands Wetland Center Guided Boardwalk Tour

Join Women in the Environment for a trip to to the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center. We will be participating in their monthly 3rd Saturday Guided Boardwalk Tour.

The description on their site reads “As your guide leads you down the boardwalk into the wetland, you’ll learn about this special ecosystem’s flora and fauna and the fascinating history of the property. Topics also include the innovative design of the wetland, the relationship the wetland has with water supply and the interaction between human engineering and nature. Dress for the weather and bring water.”

Registration is not necessary for this event. Just meet us there. Wear your Women in the Environment shirts if you have one so we can find each other easily. The only cost is the wetlands admission price, which you can pay upon arrival.

This event is open to the public; this is not a WE specific event. Bring your spouses, friends, children, whoever wants to learn more about the importance of wetlands.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Back by popular demand, the 2025 Earth, Wind, & Fire Conference on March 1 provides a unique opportunity to learn about the ongoing challenges that threaten our air, land, and water. The conference will also examine our state’s growing energy demands and the initiatives taken to meet our future energy goals.

Topics will explore the increasing need to add additional water and energy supply as Texas continues to grow and the challenges encountered in addressing those needs. The conference will examine climate change, its effect on Texas, and the efforts to combat this ongoing problem. Industrial processes, air pollution, and the new federal rules to regulate these emissions will be discussed. The threat that “forever chemicals” and microplastics present to our water will also be explored.

Speakers will include academics, policymakers, and noted professionals within their field of expertise.

Join us as we empower participants and those who work on public policy with the background and basic understanding of the challenges we face and the possible solutions to our environmental needs in Texas.

This is the third Earth, Wind, & Fire event sponsored by the Dallas Sierra Club and other nonprofit organizations. The last two events were sold out.

This conference provides a great networking opportunity to meet those who share and work on environmental concerns.

Women in the Environment is a sponsor of this event. We are not the hosts or organizers of this event. We are excited to participate as sponsors and attendees. Any questions should be directed to the host site.
Tickets are sold through earthwindandfireevent.com

A CELEBRATION OF PEOPLE AND PLANET!

Please join us this April as we celebrate our planet, our neighbors, our community.  There will be entertainment, vendors, plants for sale, city groups offering an abundance of information, food trucks, and so much more. The event is free, but please bring shopping and lunch money, in case you get hungry or see something you would like to purchase from a vendor. Some of the neighborhoods and community groups sell plants as fundraisers. Above all, it’s just a good day to get out and enjoy nature.

Women in the Environment is hosting a vendor booth at this event. Come visit the booth or volunteer to staff the booth for a portion of the event. Oak Cliff Earth Day is a family friendly event, and a great way to learn about the non-profits and specialty vendors in the local area. Bring money because you’ll want to shop and enjoy lunch from one of the food trucks!

Volunteer signups will be posted soon.
