Expert Response
Virginia Creeper is native to Minnesota and not on the noxious plant list (requires eradication). It can be considered invasive, depending on the growing conditions. If your goal is to clear the full area you will want to include the Virginia Creeper in your removal as it will continue to spread. Below is a link to information on Virginia Creeper.
