Special Celebration
In addition to the awards program, this year’s ForeverGreen Luncheon will feature a special celebration to honor Upstate Forever’s founder and conservation hero Brad Wyche.
In 1998, Brad left a successful law practice and founded Upstate Forever to protect special places and promote responsible growth in our region. During the first year, he worked alone in his home with no funds and no staff. Today, Upstate Forever has 21 staff members and has protected more than 23,000 acres across the Upstate. The positive impact Brad has made on the Upstate — and South Carolina as a whole — is tremendous.
A Greenville native, Brad has served on two gubernatorial commissions, co-founded the Upstate Mediation Network and Friends of the Reedy River, served as chair of the SC Board of Health and Environmental Control, been recognized as one of the “Best Lawyers in America” by his peers, and received SC’s highest civilian award, the Order of the Palmetto. He also worked closely with his father Tommy Wyche to protect 100,000+ acres in the SC Blue Ridge Mountains — one of the most significant conservation achievements in our nation’s history.

Join us this February as we celebrate Brad: his legacy of humble leadership, his dedication to finding common ground, and his remarkable history of service to South Carolina.
