Keenan was referring to his beach. Designed and built by Dr. Mark Lorang, former faculty at the Flathead Lake Biological Station, the beach’s purpose is to provide erosion control for Keenan’s North Shore property on Flathead Lake. Owner of this property since 2000, Keenan, who is a business owner and long-time member of the Montana state legislature, had his beach constructed in 2004. It was the first beach Lorang built for a private property oTue, 17 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/the-future-of-erosion-control-beaches/https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/protecting-flathead-lakes-shoreline/Strolling down to the shorefront of Flathead Lake was Dr. Mark Lorang, where moments before a young cinnamon colored black bear had stood. The wildlife encounter prompted Lorang to launch into a story about a wolf he recently saw up at his cherry orchard. But Lorang didn’t come to chat about wildlife. As a physical lake ecologist, he came to check out his handy work, a new erosion control beach at the Flathead Lake Biological Station (FLBS). This beach is one of the latest in his 30+ years of bFri, 02 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/protecting-flathead-lakes-shoreline/https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/inside-look-the-2020-internship-program/FLBS Runs Safe and Impactful Internships in Spite of COVID-19 The dining hall at the Flathead Lake Biological Station was unusually quiet this summer. No wafting aroma of meals cooked for students, no clinking of silverware or idle chatter. Chairs were stacked and tables put away. Instead, a single intern could be seen sitting out on the dining hall deck, facing the lake. Laptop open, focused on the task in front of her. That intern was often Kelly Hendrix. A lot of her work is computer based,Sun, 20 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/inside-look-the-2020-internship-program/https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/finding-meaning-an-intern-experience/“I just saw the bear,” Randy Flores said as he walked up from the Flathead Lake Biological Station shoreline. Flores saw one of at least four black bears who look quite comfortable living on Bio Station grounds this summer. Black bears are common in the Flathead, but the small number of people at the Bio Station this year may have made them bolder than usual. This is just one element that is contributing to a unique summer intern experience at FLBS.

Elser, the Bio Station Director and Jim Craft, researcher and limnologist, didn’t catch any Mysis (an invasive shrimp that has been established in Flathead Lake since the 1980s), but that didn’t stop them from successfully broadcasting live a virtual research cruise event that allowed the public to join in on Bio Station activities, learn about thMon, 20 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://flbs.umt.edu/newflbs/outreach/news-blog/posts/bio-station-hosts-virtual-research-cruise/
