The Bartram Symposium is part of the St. Johns River Bartram Frolic by the Bartram Trail Society of Florida. It features Bartram scholars and experts each discussing their vision of the legacy of the TRAVELS of William Bartram. Bartram&#x27;s Natural World - Dr. Dorinda Dallmeyer, President Bartram Trail Conference Dr. Dallmeyer, president of the Bartram Trail Conference will discuss the inspiration for Cultivating the Wild. In her book Bartram’s Living Legacy she writes, “Like William Bartram, we need to take the time to look around ourselves, to notice the natural world going on about its business, and to realize that nature is not just a backdrop, some stage set against which we play our lives, but truly the crucible of our creation, the world which has made us what we are.” An inspirational speaker, she will share her passion for Bartram&#x27;s view of our world. James Spalding and William Bartram: A Traveler’s Guide—Dr. Christopher Robinson

William Bartram came into his own during his Florida trip. In this talk, Dr. Robinson will introduce us to James Spalding, Bartram&#x27;s host here in Palatka at Spalding&#x27;s Lower Store, and we will follow Bartram through Florida as he uses James Spalding’s stores as his bases. The focus of this talk will be the physicality of Bartram’s trip, with an emphasis on integrating the places Bartram visited, the people he met, and the events (such as the great alligator battle) that marked this year of Bartram’s southern trip.
The Frolic on the St. Johns Education Program: Lisa Rinaman - St. Johns Riverkeeper and Susan Garboriau - Putnam County School District Technology and Innovations Director.

Many of the students enjoyed their first boat ride on the St. Johns River. Lisa and Susan will talk about the program and its effect on the children, the community and the BTSF.
