Environmental Book Club

The Delaware Nature Society and Sierra Club of Delaware have partnered for this environmental book club. The books that we read are selected by our book club participants. Books on any environmental topic will be considered, from water, land or air issues to energy, wildlife, land use, transportation, and environmental justice. The number of exciting books on the environment is practically endless.

We meet on the
topmost floor of the
DuPont Environmental
Education Center
in the
Russell W. Peterson
Urban Wildlife Refuge
on the
Wilmington Riverfront
1400 Delmarva Lane
Wilmington, DE
