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.
