Biologist discusses trout during FVCC STEM Colloquium

Flathead Valley Community College STEM Colloquium presents speaker Sam Bourret from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks on Friday, April 26 at noon.

Bourret's presentation is titled “Inadvertent Hatchery Rainbow Trout Discovered in Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout Habitat: A Cautionary Tale.” 

The event takes place on campus in the Broussard Family Library and Learning Commons classrooms 214/215. This event is free to attend and registration is not required. 

Bourret has been coined the fish detective from his work to conserve Montana’s lake and river native fish species populations. Hailing from Connecticut, Bourret worked his way west and is now pioneering research to help determine and mitigate illegally introduced fish.
