On Friday 3/26, the City of Winona will be supervising a prescribed burn on four small prairie restoration areas at Lake Winona. The date may be moved based on weather conditions. The trail and park will remain open, but users may wish to detour onto Lake Park Dr. for the section adjacent to the burn areas.
The areas being burned were planted with native prairie seeds and plants in the summer of 2017 and 2018, and will be rejuvenated by a prescribed burn. Weeds and other non-native species are much less fire tolerant.
Questions or concerns may be directed to the City’s Sustainability and Natural Resource’s Coordinator, John Howard or 507-457-8273.
