Another Invasive Plant Now Spotted Growing in Minnesota
Many trees and plants are growing across Minnesota right now, including a few that shouldn't be here-- like this invasive plant that was just spotted. We've heard for several years already about how some invasive plants have found their way to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Like, say, the always-nasty wild parsnip.

One Report Says This is The Best Place to Live in Minnesota in 2024
I might be biased, but I think Minnesota is a great place to live. I love the small town festivals, the lakes, the vibe -- and yes, even the weather (especially this year). A lot of people outside of Minnesota thinks a great place too. A few years ago, Chanhassen was named the best city to live in the entire United States. Grand Marais is always being mentioned as one of America's best small towns, and Duluth is near the top of many lists for having the best outdoor recreation access. Lanesboro was recently listed as one of the best towns in America to spend Christmas.
