Approximately 2 km upstream of the station is the Amerindian village of Fairview. The Georgetown-Lethem road crosses the Essequibo river near Fairview and the road bisects the Iwokrama Forest for about 73 km, to Iwokrama's southern limit near the Amerindian village of Surama. The road then continues onward to Annai and Lethem. The Field Station has three visitors cabins each with four to seven beds. The cabins are made of local wood and thatching and have showers and flush toilets.
Hammocks are available for visitors in excess of cabin capacity.
Other buildings include a kitchen, dining hall, administrative building and a medical clinic staffed by a resident microscopist. A generator provides the station with electricity and photovoltaic cells are being procured and installed. An automatic weather station is to be installed shortly at the Field Station. A station manager oversees activities at the site. Amerindian staff, some qualified as foresters or trained in basic biological survey techniques, and with good traditional knowledge of the forest ecology, are available as assistants and guides in support of research activities.
