Thanks for support of tree planting, ash tree treatment (6/2/2021)
Friends of Winona Parks (FOWP) would like to thank the Winona Post for their coverage of the ash tree issue in Winona’s city parks. I would also like to thank Greg Olson, Kent Grover, Chris Kramer, John Howard and all the others who volunteered their time and made contributions to this important cause.
FOWP has planted five large trees in three different Winona parks. Each tree measures two-and-a-half to three inches in diameter and is purchased and planted using local vendors. The city of Winona has agreed to water them. Two additional trees have been purchased and will be planted soon. FOWP’s goal is to plant 10 trees this year. Also, in the upcoming month, FOWP would like to treat the existing ash trees by the softball fields in Lake Park.

A new art installation in the area is aiming to spark conversation and awareness around an important social issue.
In a partnership between Binesiwag Centre for Wellness and Seven Generations Education Institute (SGEI), a large piece of art in the form of a traditional jingle dancer is being installed on the grounds of SGEI’s Fort Frances campus and will remain there for the rest of the month, hopefully inspiring those who pass by to ask questions and further their understanding of the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S+) individuals in Canada.
