Bansak to address Polson Chamber
POLSON — For more than 100 years, researchers at the Flathead Lake Biological Station have studied and taught classes concerning the biological, chemical and physical features of Flathead Lake. Today, their studies include the threat to our lake from aquatic invasive species such as zebra and quagga mussels.
On Wednesday, March 1, members of the Polson Chamber of Commerce will learn more about the work of the Biological Station from the station’s Assistant Director, Tom Bansak.
He serves as a Bio Station representative, providing scientific insight to groups such as the Flathead Basin Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Work Group. The luncheon will be at the KwaTaqNuk Resort from noon-1 p.m. on March 1. Lunch is $11. For additional information call 883-5969.
