History. Art. And the Great Outdoors.
These events are great if you’re looking to get involved but have limited time. This month we’ll be in Georgia to work on our southernmost trailheads.
We will be focused on cleaning up and maintained local Bartram Trailheads – Picking up trash, replacing signs and rack cards, ensuring accessibility, etc.
We hope you’ll come join us!
RSVP here and meet at Warwoman Dell at 1pm.
We’ll be back in Georgia this week to work on a hurricane damaged section of the Chattooga River Trail. We’ll meet at the intersection of Warwoman Rd and Sandy Ford Rd at 9am. It will be a cold morning, but we’ll warm up fast!

The Bartram Trail Conservancy recently received funding from the Legacy Trails Grant to make improvements to the trail between Wallace Branch and Wayah Bald. As part of this, we will be building a small fence at the base of the Falls to mitigate erosion problems from people climbing up the banks.
We’re going to start with round locust logs and rive them using steel wedges to create the traditional “split rail” fence that is often still seen across rural America.
Come help us learn this traditional fence building skill and add a beautiful and functional element to the Bartram Trail.
Don’t forget to bring warm layers, work gloves, hearing protection, and a lunch!
We’ll meet at the Wallace Branch Trailhead at 9am.
