August 29th, Trailhead Tuesday

We’ll plan to meet at the church parking lot in Franklin, across from the Lazy Hiker. We’ll plan to focus on the new route between the Macon County Fairgrounds and the Little Tennessee River Greenway. If we have enough folks, we’ll also visit some of the trailheads in the area to clean up, restock information cards, and greet any hikers.

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 parking area at the First United Methodist Church in Franklin. We’ll regroup between 3-4 and head over to Lazy Hiker for a cold beverage on us.

Please RSVP to help with planning for this event:
