RE: Call for Papers and Presentations
As a previous attendee at the Northeastem Recreation Research Symposium (NERR), you are well aware of the
unparalleled opportunity the Symposium offers for exchanging information with other recreation, tourism, and resource
managers, planners, and researchers. Our 13th Annual Symposium will be held April 1-3, 2001, at the historic island
resort, The Sagamore, on Lake George in Bolton Landing, New York.
The Symposium provides you with a chance to be exposed to interdisciplinary perspectives on a variety of resource
management issues, to offer insight into some of the latest issues in recreation-based research, and to interact with
individuals experiencing similar situations and dilemmas. As noted in the enclosed Call for Papers and Presentations,
we are seeking both research presentations and timely issues for discussion in resource management roundtable
discussions.
If you haven't been to a NERR Symposium in a few years, we still work hard to maintain a relaxed atmosphere that is
conducive to idea exchange and non-threatening peer review of research in progress. NERR continues to be an
excellent forum for graduate student presentations. The U.S. Forest Service also provides a convenient publication
outlet by producing an annual proceedings.
We have also strived to keep the conference fees reasonable. Early registration will be $85 for students, $125 for
professionals, with a room rate of $81 for up to four persons. To encourage family participation, spouses are invited to
attend all events (including the luncheon banquet) for a reduced rate of only $50. Please note that both conference
registration and room reservation forms will be mailed by early January, 2001.
I sincerely hope you will submit an abstract for consideration in this year's program. Remember to check the
preliminary schedule, available January 26, 2001, at our website (http://www.cas.psu.edu/docs/cashome/nerr.html), and
make plans to join us in April 2001 as we continue to wrestle with contemporary issues of recreation, leisure, and
natural resource management.
