Participants in the 2015 Bartram Trail Conference visited Stokes Landing on the St. Johns River

The 2015 Bartram Trail Conference was held in Palatka, Florida, October 16–17, on the shores of William Bartram’s beloved St. Johns River. John and William Bartram first paddled up the St. Johns River in December of 1765 and the conference convened almost on the exact date. The conference was held in the Ravine Gardens State Park and Palatka’s Riverfront Park. Members of the Bartram Trail in Putnam County planned many field trips for conference members that took place on Friday and Sunday.
