Promote environmental stewardship and empower youth to get involved at Upham Woods by participating conservation or service projects. 

• Conservation projects will help develop ecological knowledge and the skills needed to apply that knowledge to restore and preserve our land, water, air, and wildlife. These land management principles can then be easily applied to your own communities. Specific activities that meet the needs of Upham and the group can be arranged, such as, invasive species pulls, understory thinning, and more!
• Service projects promote teamwork as youth work together to complete a task that supports community and belonging. Specific activities that meet the needs of Upham and the group can be arranged, such as, trail building/maintenance, improving facilities and more!

Please contact Upham Woods to determine a project that is appropriate for your group.

Accessibility needs: Upham Woods provides all of the necessary equipment from gloves to loppers, so people do not need to purchase their own. As conservation/service projects vary, the accessibility of each individual project is hard to determine as some projects require heavy tools, bending over, or walking up stairs, but if you communicate with us ahead of time, we will choose projects that are accessible for all individuals.

Some projects do require participants to follow safety instructions due to the risk associated with some of our tools, such as hand saws. If you are concerned about participants’ ability to safely follow directions, we can strategically choose a different project.
