Welcome to the New North Carolina Bartram Trail Society (NCBTS) Website! The NCBTS maintains a 100 mile memorial trail in the state of North Carolina, in honor of the Philadelphian naturalist, William Bartram, who traveled throughout the southeast from 1773 to 1777. During these travels, Bartram wrote vivid descriptions of the plants and animals he saw, and the Native American peoples he encountered, which he later published under the title Bartram’s Travels. Today, the Society has more than 200 members from all over the southeast, conducts twice-annual meetings, and organizes trail work-hikes and other outdoor activities.
