Bull Neck Swamp Proposed Research
FER Home : The Department : Bull Neck Swamp
User Fees
Roads:
Road maintenance is the primary expense at Bull Neck Swamp Research Forest. To account for additional road impact and minimize use of large vehicles on the roads, we ask for a road user fee to be included in all proposals. This fee is decided separately for each project and is based on the type of vehicle being used, miles of roads used for the project, and number of days used per year.

Accommodations:
Currently, we have a field house located in Plymouth, NC, which is approximately 25 minutes from the Bull Neck Swamp Research Forest. The house has wireless internet service, is fully furnished, and can accommodate up to 8 research students and field technicians.
Short stays (1-2 nights) are welcome, but we ask for assistance for long term stays or on-going projects to help offset the cost of water, lights, propane, and rent. Generally, the fee is $20/night for 2 people or $15 for one.
Please call Dr. Chris DePerno to make arrangements at 513-7559.
