REGISTRATION FEES
We recognize that the registration fees this year are somewhat higher than fees for our past conferences. This increase reflects the fact that we are providing lunch on one day of the conference (at the request of the majority of last year's participants) as well as increasing costs of planning this growing event and its expanded program. Thank you for understanding that it is critical to our organization that we cover the costs associated with hosting this event. Registration fees include:

Access to all conference sessions and field trips

Printed conference program with abstracts

Lunch on Day 1 as well as coffee and refreshments throughout

Canvas bag featuring our new wetland biodiversity logo

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
To register for the conference, simply complete a registration form (click here to download - PDF, 0.6 MB) and return it to WWA along with your registration payment. We prefer that you pay for registration fees by check because it saves us credit card transaction fees. However, if you would like to pay by credit card, you may do so by completing the credit card payment section on your registration form.

Wisconsin Wetlands Association is pleased to be partnering with the Invasive Plants Association of Wisconsin (IPAW) on some programmatic connections between our consecutive conferences in 2006. The IPAW forum will feature practical information for wetland managers who are combatting invasive plants.
