What is the Mississippi floodplain forest like in winter? On a flat, unpaved, one-mile hiking loop, we will play a short game and then explore this ecosystem. Trees look dead now. How do we tell if they are? How do trees make food? Can wild animals use trees through the winter? What other plants live here? What about fungus and lichen? Are floodplain forests good for people? Bundle up and join us for a fun, informative walk to kickstart your weekend!

Adventure lovers! Don’t let bad weather or lack of appropriate gear stop you from getting outside this year! Join us this fall at our next bi-annual Gear Swap at Curiosi-Tea House in Winona, MN on Sunday, November 3rd from 10 am - 2pm. 

This fall, we're partnering with Janky Gear out of Rochester, Minnesota for our bi-annual Gear Swap! If you have gently used gear and clothing that you would like to sell or donate, you can bring it to us a week before the sale.

Join our next Wilderness Weekend program for a beginner look at wildlife ecology as we observe landscapes within the driftless region and hypothesize about what animal survival has looked like over time. This family friendly event will take place at Farmers Park in Stockton, MN where we will observe the environment around us, discuss different animals found in the area, and determine what factors impact animal populations and the important role each species plays in an ecosystem.

The goal of this program is to engage children, families, and active adults by discussing wildlife populations throughout time, observing the surrounding landscapes, and determining the four basic needs for animal survival. During this program, attendees will gain knowledge regarding animals' access to resources in the driftless region and will be given the opportunity to hypothesize how animal survival has changed over time and what factors may influence those changes.

Meeting Location: The park's address is Farmers Community Park, 23011 County Road 120, Winona, MN 55987. You can find us at the first shelter on the left-hand side as you enter the park.

Free to Attend!

Is your puffy loosing insulation, or have you found an extra hole or two in your favorite pair of mittens? Now’s the time to gear up before snow begins to blanket the bluffs!

Join the Winona Outdoor Collaborative, in partnership with Curiosi-Tea House, at their second annual Gear Swap this November. This season’s gear swap will focus on winter clothing and gear to help fuel you for your cold-season adventures. We will also have some out-of-season items available for sale. Don’t forget to check out our dollar bins where you can find outdoor clothing at affordable prices ($2 - $5), and swing by our gear table to find some great deals on thrifted outdoor equipment waiting for it’s second chance at life.

Are you looking to sell some of your gently used outdoor gear and clothing? Let us take the hassle out of selling your gear by dropping it off at our shop the week before the sale.

1. Collect your gently used or new gear or outdoor clothing and drop it off at 366 E 3rd Street (GARAGE ENTRANCE PLEASE!!) the week before the sale. Park in the Watkin’s Parking lot before heading to the garage where we will be collecting gear swap items. Collection times are Monday, October 30 to Friday, November 3 between 4 - 6 pm.

2. When you arrive, a WOC staff member will fill out an intake form with you, noting which equipment you brought to the gear swap and collecting your contact information. To sell gear, there is a $3/item charge with a maximum charge of $18/household. If you would prefer to donate your gear to the gear swap, you will receive a tax receipt for the estimated total value of the gear.

3. From there, your items will be inspected and priced by a WOC staff member and added to the gear swap inventory. All equipment is tagged with a number that is associated with your intake form so we can properly provide payment for items following the gear swap.

4. As customers shop and purchase items, WOC staff members will match all sold items with the proper intake form. All sales will be reimbursed as a check payment within a month of the gear swap.

5. After the gear swap, anyone who has items left in the swap that DID NOT sell will be contacted with a deadline to pick up their gear. If gear is not picked up by this date, it will be considered a donation.

What’s Included: Access to affordable, thrifted outdoor clothing and gear as well as a range of organizations/businesses sharing resources or sellable materials with attendees. Coffee, tea and food available for purchase at Curiosi-Tea to enjoy while shopping

Parking Instructions: Park either alongside 5th Street or Baker. Keep an eye out for passing vehicles and enter into Curiosi-Tea House either using the wheelchair accessible ramp on Baker Street or the front door entrance on 5th Street.
