Volunteer on the Trail
No Matter Your Age or Skill Level, You Can Help!
The Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy maintains the 80+ miles of the North Carolina portion and 30+ miles of the Georgia portion of the Bartram Trail and we are dependent upon volunteers for this effort. If you are interested in helping out with trail maintenance, or in monitoring a section of the trail, we would greatly appreciate your support.
We have routine workdays every Second Saturday, Third Friday, and Last Tuesday of every month. If you are new to trail work and want to start small, join us on our Trailhead Tuesdays. Typically, we have carpooling from the Franklin area.
Here’s a breakdown of the different sections of the trail you can volunteer on:
North Carolina sections:
- Hale Ridge to Osage Overlook
- Osage Overlook to Jones Knob
- Jones Knob to Hickory Knoll Road
- Wallace Branch to Wayah Bald
- Wayah Bald to Wayah Road
