June 15th Pride Month Hike at Warwoman Dell

Please join Erin Hadjidakis, a Conservancy Board Member and Ga State Forest Ranger, for this special hike to celebrate Pride Month. This hike will begin at Warwoman Dell and head north up to Martin’s Creek Falls, roughly a 4 mile round trip. Erin will provide interpretive information about the area, environment, and trail.

Hikers will meet at the Warwoman Dell picnic pavilion at 5pm on the 15th and the trip should take 2 hours.

Bring what you need for a short 4 mile hike, plenty of water, a snack, and any meds you may need. Please email us if you have any questions.

June 30th Walking With Bartram – Wallace Branch to Trimont Trail

This hike will pick up where we left off on our hike of the new route. We’ll plan to meet at the Church Parking across from Lazy Hiker Brewing in Franklin and shuttle to our starting point of Wallace Branch. We’ll hike the section from Wallace Branch up to Trimont Trail and head back into town down the proposed Trimont Trail reroute to the Old State Prison / NCDOT Yard. From there, we will walk down Harrison Avenue to the Lazy Hiker.

This is a slightly modified and abbreviated section to hike, but will not disappoint.

Newcomers are welcome to join us. All you need to bring is water, lunch, clothing appropriate for this season, and your sense of humor and wonder.

We have had great interest in these hikes and are working to create new hiking opportunities. If you are interested in leading a hike, let us know!

June 27th: Trailhead Tuesday at Warwoman Dell

This will be a special Trailhead Tuesday and really hope our Georgia folks can make it. We’ve coordinated with a Boy Scout Troop who will be thru-hiking the Bartram Trail during this week and they will come through Warwoman Dell around the same time we’re there. We’ll help them all earn their service badges and share in tidying up the Dell a bit.

If we have enough folks turn up, we can divide the group to go out to Russell Bridge, Hale Ridge Rd, Sandy Ford, and some stay at the Dell to work with the Scout group.

This is a program for those looking to get involved but with limited time. We will meet in the early afternoon to divide and conquer some minor clean up and trail head maintenance. We’re looking for folks to visit a set of selected trail heads to re-stock Bartram Trail information cards, complete a trail head condition report, pick up any trash in the area, and chat with hikers as they start their day hike.

We’ll supply everything you need for the day. Although we suggest you bring your own gloves, a hat, sunscreen, and a positive attitude.

We’ll meet at 1pm in the far parking area at Warwoman Dell near the pavilion and southbound trailhead. We’ll regroup between 3-4 and head over to Outdoor 76 in Clayton for a cold beverage.

Please RSVP to help with planning for this event:

June 16th: Third Friday Workday at Warwoman Dell

Please consider joining us for our June 16th, Third Friday Workday from 9am to 3pm.

We’ll meet at Warwoman Dell at 9am and shuttle to our working trailhead, either Wilson Gap or Earl’s Ford, depending on conditions and size of our group.

Please bring work gloves, good boots, plenty of water, lunch, any meds you might need and esprit de corps.

If you’re new to trail maintenance or just want to learn more, you can find more information here on our site. Don’t be shy, we’ll provide everything you need to enjoy your day while making a huge impact for future enjoyment of the Bartram Trail. The hard work of our volunteers is what keeps the 110 miles of trails open and usable all year long.

Please RSVP so we can plan the work and tool requirements.

Thank you for your volunteerism!
