Summer 2011 Field Week

July 24-30 at WMRS Crooked Creek Station

Please note: Past WMRS-GLORIA field weeks have been free of charge to participants. Owing to new budget cuts, WMRS is now requesting that participants pay at least $15/night in order to cover the cost of food for the field week. If this creates a hardship for students or volunteers, please contact us. If your funding makes it possible, we also request that participants pay the full UC rate of $50/night. Please pay by check made out to UC Regents and give to Denise Waterbury.


Checks should be mailed to: Denise Waterbury, 3000 E. Line St., Bishop CA 93514


Scheduling Contact:  Adelia Barber (adelia at biology.ucsc.edu)
