Building greater awareness of the natural world and understanding the role that humans play as caretakers of the earth has a powerful healing impact. The Uplands Center aspires to elevate environmental consciousness through experiential, place-based education and programming.

Community-Centered Programs
The Uplands is committed to Delaware County, the town of Walton and the larger community in which it is located. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with regional service organizations and offer a convenient venue for other community-building and engagement activities.
The Uplands is proud to have partnered with local organizations as varied as community art initiatives, local health care services, and rehabilitation agencies. In addition, The Uplands hosts monthly yoga classes and women’s circles.
