Additionally, you may want to bring a Federal Express mailing label with your office account number if you wish to mail your course binder home. Dress: NCTC dress is business casual; however, please bring appropriate clothes/shoes/boots for field sessions. To help prevent the spread of invasive species on the NCTC campus, please ensure that all field equipment, including footwear, is free of dirt and seeds before leaving home.

    We will be in the field several days, so please dress accordingly. In hopes of sunny weather, pack some sunglasses and sunscreen, but you may also want to include rain-wear. There are chiggers, ticks and mosquitoes, so you may want to bring repellant and wear long pants.
