After 3 years of canceled trips, Willowbrook Middle School returned to Upham Woods this past week for their 15th year of visits. Other groups that visited throughout April included North Crawford Elementary, Cub Scout Pack 377, 4-H State teams, Wingra Montessori, Bay View Montessori, Camp Counselors, Wisconsin Dells High School, and Chainsaw Safety Training.
Upham Woods staff also engaged in opportunities outside of school groups. We trained 2 brand-new naturalists, Rebecca and Hannah. Rebecca shared that her first few weeks have been great, but a lot of walking! Some staff also participated in different professional conferences- the Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Conference and the National PYD Thrive Academy. At these conferences, staff networked, learned about new ideas, and presented on Upham's work in Accessibility.
