Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center is a remarkable University of Wisconsin-Madison off-campus resource located just north of Wisconsin Dells. Located along the Wisconsin River, Upham Woods spans 320 acres of forested land, including the 210-acre Blackhawk Island and designated State Natural Area. The land was gifted to the University in 1941 by the Upham sisters in memory of their parents. Their vision was to preserve the land as an outdoor laboratory for youth, which continues today through immersive environmental education that connects young people to Wisconsin’s natural and cultural history. The mission of Upham Woods is to provide an innovative outdoor experience that connects youth and adults with the research and educational resources of UW–Madison to improve the human-nature connection, support understanding of science, foster environmental stewardship, and engage communities.
