Sugarloaf Work Day with the Access Fund National Conservation Team
The Recreation Alliance of Winona is excited to have partnered with the Access Fund to bring their national conservation team to Winona August 29th-30th. The goal of this event is to build a sustainable trailhead for the Sugarloaf and work on erosion mitigation and trail enhancements to create a hiking trail for all users which will be able to handle the both human and natural impacts.
