Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy
History. Art. And the Great Outdoors.
UPDATE: This event has been postponed to January 7th.
This month you’ll get to meet Draco – a 1.5 year old pit mix with a big heart and cute ears. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date with vaccinations, and ready to find a new home. We’re going to meet up at Big Bear Shelter on the Franklin Greenway at 11am and plan to be out until about 1pm.
Don’t forget to bring lunch and warm layers!
If you’d like to meet and get to know him on a walk down the river, RSVP below!
We’ll be back in Georgia this week to do storm cleanup. Expect a lot of tree cutting and clearing brush!
Exact location is TBD but we’ll be working from 9am to 3pm.
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 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!
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.

Spring wildflowers, a wildlife meadow, and views are highlights of this moderate forest hike of 4.6 miles round trip. A steep but short spur trail up Whiterock Mountain offers some especially stunning views of Tessentee Valley and the Nantahala mountains.
The overall elevation gain is modest with a few steep, rocky sections both on the way to Whiterock Mountain and back to Jones Gap.
Since this is a popular hiking spot, we’ll limit the number of people to 10. Karen Wallace and Jill Osborne will be leading this one!
We’re meeting at Macon Plaza (Food Lion), 155 Macon Plaza Dr., Franklin, NC 28734 at 10:30am. We’ll carpool from there to the trailhead which includes a few miles on gravel roads.
