Student
Participation
The North American Forest Biology Workshop encourages student participation.
Significant discounts are offered to students registering for the
meeting. Also, the NAFBW offers a friendly, supporting environment
for students giving papers for the first time and students are encouraged
to present findings from their work.
For the Houghton meeting, we will be offering dormitory rooms for
about $16 per night. Plus, there are numerous, low-cost eateries
in town with almost everything within walking distance of campus.
Additional establishments are available across Portage Lake in Hancock,
1 mile to the north. Regularly scheduled bus transportation is available
between these two waterfront towns. 
For a limited number of students who will commit to working 14 hours
at the meeting and who fulfill this commitment, we will be offering
a refund of registration fees. These students will be asked
to help with registration, audio-visual equipment, room lighting
controls, transporting guests to and from the airport, and other
miscellaneous tasks. If you are interested in taking advantage of
this opportunity, contact Dr. King at the earliest opportunity to
assure a slot.
