The Castles Forestry Center has various meeting rooms for an executive session of six people or a fully equipped large lecture room that will comfortably seat 60 people for a meeting or seminar. The Center was designed to be used by people coming in from the field in all types of weather, so there is no need to park your boots at the door. Not shown are the pot of coffee and plate of goodies that we furnish with your rental of the room. Our nicest rooms are in the Lodge, which is located about 100 yards from the Forestry Center. The Lodge, built in 1996, has 16 sleeping rooms with two single beds each, a common area, kitchen, and bathrooms at the end of the hall.
Researchers are also welcome to rent the units for an extended period to house personnel.
The student camp area is located across the meadow from the Forestry Center, Lodge and Duplex. Here we have more rustic accommodations in sleeping cabins that house from two to six people each for a total of 55 to 60 people. Donated by the Anaconda Company, these boxcars still bear the caulked boot marks of the old time loggers. These units, best suited for late spring to early fall use, are furnished with beds, mattresses, desks, dressers, and wood stoves. Below-Our dining hall and picnic pavillion.
