Participants will be encouraged to keep their own field notes, sketches, or observations during the hike, “becoming Bartram” for the day as we connect with the natural world through close observation and curiosity. Together, we’ll discuss how Alabama’s wild beauty has changed since Bartram’s time and what we can do to protect it for the next 250 years.
We will be meeting outside the Campground Store and hiking Daniel’s, Shannon, and Old Lickskillet trails. Attendees are encouraged to bring water, bug spray, sturdy footwear, and a small notebook or journal if you’d like to write or sketch during the hike. We will have some journals and pencils available for use.
During your visit to the park, be sure to check out the In the Footsteps of Bartram Exhibit, located in the upper lobby of the Lodge, open now until February 1st!
