Science meets art at Flathead Lake Bio Station
“Who here loves plants?” Seattle artist and former river guide and garden designer Sarah Jones asked the few dozen of us assembled for a day alongside Flathead Lake.
Since 1908 the Yellow Bay site has served as a biological field station, the oldest in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River. Science happens here year-round. In the fall the Flathead Lake Biological Station also becomes home to artists, courtesy the Missoula-based nonprofit Open AIR.
