Wisconsin and Minnesota are two of the most biologically diverse states in the United States. The two states share a border along the Upper Midwest, and their landscapes are home to a wide variety of plant and animal life.
Some of the most common plant species in Wisconsin and Minnesota include white pines, oaks, maples, birches, and aspens. These trees provide food and shelter for a variety of animals, including deer, bears, wolves, foxes, and birds. The Kaufman Field Guide To Nature Of The Midwest is a great guide for fast identification of species in nature.
The states are also home to a number of endangered and threatened species, such as the black bear, the bald eagle, and the trumpeter swan. These species are protected by state and federal laws, and there are a number of conservation efforts underway to help them recover.

Fishing since the age of eight. Seriously writing since the age of 16. Chef and foodie from the age of 22 years… and counting. So much to learn and so little time.

I am sharing it with you in the hope that some of what I love to do will rub off on you. I hope to see you On the Lake!
