October 11th Walking with Bartram (reschedule)

We will be making up our hurricaned out hike from last month on the second Friday of October.

We’re be going to be hiking the new(ish) reroute that takes us along the greenway and through the town of Franklin. We’ll meet at the First United Methodist Church at 1pm to hike the 7 miles along the river to end up at the Lazy Hiker for drinks at the end of the day!

This route begins at the County Fairgrounds and Rec Park, continues down Allman Drive, through the Cartoogechaye Creek Meadow, onto the Little Tennessee Greenway to Big Bear, then down (or up) Main street.

This should be a relatively easy and accessible hike.

We hope you can make it. RSVP below to join!

October 18th Third Friday Workday

This Friday we will be meeting at Russell Bridge at the Bartram’s starting point on the SC line. The trail in Georgia has a tremendous amount of work to be accomplished following the storm.

Please bring work gloves, good boots, plenty of water, lunch, any meds you might need and esprit de corps. We will have all tools, hardhats, eye pro, and extra gloves if you need them.

If you’re new to trail maintenance or just want to learn more, you can find more information here on our site.

Trail Maintenance Basics

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 112 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!
