Flathead Lake Biological Station celebrating 125 years
The Flathead Lake Biological Station was started in 1899 by Morton Elrod to monitor the health of Flathead LakeBIGFORK — The Flathead Lake Biological Station (FLBS) held its annual Open House on Friday, but this year is extra special as they are celebrating its 125th anniversary.
“Well, it's remarkable I think that any, you know, institution like this can last that long and not just last but to thrive to be continuously growing in impact and awareness. It's an incredible thing. 125 just a pretty long time for this kind of operation, especially in the western United States,” said Flathead Lake Biological Station Director Jim Elser.
The station was started in 1899 by Morton Elrod to monitor the watershed, invasive species and the environment of beautiful Flathead Lake.
“125 years. I mean, I've been here for over 20 and that's nothing compared to the 125 that the station has been here for. I just think it's amazing that Dr. Elrod hat was able to establish the bio station when he did and that we've been able to continue growing and helping Montana and doing research all over the world since then. It's pretty amazing legacy,” said Rachel Malison who is an Assistant Research Professor at FLBS.
