Water Conservation Tips
Invasive Species and Vegetation
Residents should become familiar with these invasive species, particularly invasive vegetation such as buckthorn and garlic mustard. These plants out-compete native plants for nutrients, light and moisture and threaten the future of forests and other natural habitats.
The City of Minnetonka Beach is working to remove this invasive vegetation from public property and encourages residents to eradicate this vegetation on private property as well.
