The primary focus of this project was to develop a
workable master plan to provide direction to the
educational programs at Upham Woods Educational Center.
The final product would be used by Upham Woods staff, state
4-H leaders, UWEX, schools and the many others who use the
Upham Woods facility.
Three surveys were developed and sent out in order to
collect information used in supporting recommendations for
the master plan. The first survey was sent to 4-H leaders
from every state to identify CES operated facilities
similar to Upham Woods. The second survey was mailed to
the identified facilities from the first survey. This
survey collected information in regards to staffing,
facility budgets and visitor use. The third survey was
sent to the users of Upham Woods. This survey was directed
at collecting information relative to staff needs, program
offerings, equipment usage and fee comparisons at Upham
Woods.
These survey results were used by the Upham Woods
Master Plan Committee in development of an educational
master plan. This plan was developed through a series of
meetings identifying problems with staffing, program use,
equipment and fees. A number of recommendations were made
which addressed these problems which were supported by the
survey data.
