Kendra Hart+FollowMinnesota’s hidden floating village lifeTucked along the Mississippi near Winona, there’s a floating village where neighbors relax in cozy boathouses right on the water. These rare river homes aren’t just for storing boats—they’re weekend retreats, passed down through families and friends, and almost never up for grabs. The community, around since 1951, keeps its peaceful vibe by limiting overnight stays and pitching in together for upkeep. Even if you can’t own a boathouse, you can still enjoy the river: fish from the shore, grab a bite at the club’s restaurant, or just soak up the tranquility. Would you want to spend a weekend in a place like this? #Home #Minnesota #RiverLife00Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDams Are Messing With Fish More Than We ThoughtDid you know dams are actually blocking fish like salmon and eels from making their epic journeys? A massive global study just revealed that these structures are shrinking fish populations and even messing with their genetics. Even those fancy fish ladders aren’t enough! The wild part? When these fish struggle, it impacts everything from local jobs to water quality. Some places are tearing down dams or getting creative with wildlife crossings. Maybe it’s time to rethink how we build around rivers! #WildlifeWednesday #EcoNews #RiverLife #Science50Share
