Conference Dinner off-site (Pond Hill Farm), self-pay bar

If walking, it’s about 3 km one-way, roughly 45 minutes, to US-UMB, which is our control tower in an unmanipulated forest that has been operating since 1997. On the way, we could stop and briefly discuss US-UMd, where we’ve stem girdled 10,000 trees — we’ll walk right through it. Terrain is mostly flat and sandy.

If driving, a 930 departure will get everyone to US-UMB in 5-10 minutes. Walk to the tower is minimal from the road (~200m).

Packout lunch will be provided at breakfast.
