Flow Forward 2025 Fundraising Event

Join us from 1-4 PM on Sunday, October 19, 2025

Flow Forward is a celebration of community, curiosity, and conservation. Nestled along the Wisconsin River, this casual afternoon event invites you to wander and wonder through the natural beauty of Upham Woods. Enjoy live music, interactive art, and guided tours that showcase the center’s impact and vision. With ‘brushes, beats and riverbanks’ setting the scene, you’ll be inspired to explore and grow … together.

Come connect, reflect, and help nurture the next generation of environmental stewards.

We will have Plein Air artists displaying past work and creating new work during the event, as well as providing a “pick up a brush” collaborative art canvas.

Cost: $50.00 per attendee (includes Hors d’oeuvres and two drink tickets)
