Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories.

The Minnesota Legislature passed a bill in 1907 authorizing a forestry school in Itasca Park. During the 1920s, forestry field work at the Itasca Station was joined with other course offerings including field zoology, forest botany, field taxonomy, advanced taxonomy of flowering plants, and field ecology through the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics. From 1909 to 1940, the Itasca station was known by different names, including University Sub-station at Itasca State Park, Forest Experiment Station at Itasca, Lake Itasca Forestry Station, and Itasca Park Forestry and Biological Station. At their January 12, 1940, meeting, the Board of Regents voted "on recommendation of the Committee on Naming of Buildings to name the University plant at Itasca Park the Lake Itasca Forestry and Biological Station." The station's name was changed to Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories in 2002.
