“We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him.”
✝️ Mark 10:33-34

Join the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy and Backlot Cinema on our fourteenth section of the 110-mile Bartram Trail.

This month, we journey deeper into the forest to reflect on William Bartram—not just as a naturalist, but as an artist who saw the world as "inexpressibly beautiful and pleasing." His detailed, imaginative illustrations captured the interconnectedness of life in ways that were ahead of his time—evoking wonder, reverence, and curiosity.

Through the collaborative project "Listening to the Land: Reimagining the Bartram Trail", the Blue Ridge Bartram Trail Conservancy and Kinship Photography Collective invited photographers of all levels to connect with the natural world the way Bartram once did—with humility, awe, and deep observation.

Over nine months of workshops, nature walks, and creative exploration, participants learned to “listen” to the land—not just see it. The camera became a tool for intimate conversations with the environment, uncovering beauty and meaning in overlooked places.

🌲 Discover how Bartram's legacy inspired a new generation of artists.
📸 Experience their stunning visual interpretations of the landscape.
✨ And maybe, be reminded to pause—and listen—to the land around you.
