Local Housing Availability
We have blocked rooms at several local hotels for workshop participants. Please indicate that you will be attending the North American Forest Biology Workshop at MTU when making reservations to get the workshop rate. In addition, there are several smaller hotels close to the university campus that have very reasonable rates. A block of on-campus dormitory rooms will also be available at extremely reasonable rates. Multiple room occupancy is permitted, making this an attractive option for students. Because availability may be limited we urge you to make arrangements as soon as possible. Note: prices are subject to change.
