Southern Forest Health Work Conference, 4-6 August 2026, Jekyll Island, Georgia USA

by Shepherd, William - FS, LA

The 65th annual Southern Forest Health Work Conference (SFHWC) will be held 4-6 August 2026 (Tuesday - Thursday) on beautiful Jekyll Island, Georgia USA! We have chosen the Jekyll Island Club Resort for our meeting. Although meeting registration is not yet open, I encourage you to make your hotel reservation as soon as possible. We have a block of 50 rooms (Monday night), 70 rooms (Tuesday and Wednesday nights), and 60 rooms (Thursday night) set aside for the group until July 13, 2026, so make your reservations by this date. Don't miss out on the special pricing! IMPORTANT: The entire meeting will be held on Tuesday-Thursday, making Monday and Friday travel days. The opening business meeting and plenary session will begin after lunch on Tuesday. A full day of concurrent sessions, the closing business meeting, and awards banquet are scheduled for Thursday. Depending on your travel plans, you may want to reserve a room for Monday night even if you haven't needed to do this for past meetings. Here are the details: Date: 4-6 August 2026 Place: Jekyll Island Club Resort, 371 Riverview Drive, Jekyll Island, Georgia VERY IMPORTANT!!!: Room rates are $189.00 per night plus taxes/fees for 1-2 occupants, $219.00 per night plus taxes/fees for 3 occupants, and $249.00 per night plus taxes/fees for 4 occupants, and are good for the nights of 3-6 August, 2026 (as well as 3 days pre- and post-conference, depending on availability). The booking website will show the room rate plus fees, BUT this is not the actual number because our group resort fee is only $20/night (not $45/night)! After booking you will receive a confirmation email with the actual cost plus the resort fee [for example, for 1-2 occupants - per night: $189.00 + $20.00 (resort fee) = $209.00. Then add $7.00 (other fees) + $27.86 (taxes) = $243.86 total/night]. Also, there will NOT be a one-night deposit charged to your card when you book (but you'll still need to provide your card information to reserve your room). Remember, this low rate is valid only until July 13, 2026, and only for the limited number of rooms in our group block. Make your reservation right away! Phone reservations: 855-867-2914. Mention the 65th Annual Southern Forest Health Work Conference or group code: 4216796. or Online reservation link: 65th Annual Southern Forest Health Work Conference<https://be.synxis.com/?adult=1&arrive=2026-08-03&chain=11910&child=0&curren…> Complimentary self-parking is available at the hotel.
