Sugarloaf: The North Shore Stewardship Association presented its Tombolo Award to Margit Berg on Aug. 9 during the organization’s Annual Meeting and Ice Cream Social. The Tombolo Award recognizes an individual for outstanding service and contributions to the organization’s mission – inspiring the preservation and restoration of the North Shore.
Margit and her husband Tom discovered Sugarloaf Cove 16 years ago. Shortly thereafter, Margit accepted a position on the Sugarloaf board because, “I have always been interested in the preservation and restoration of the North Shore, and more recently how climate change is impacting our forest. I believe in many organizations working together to educate landowners about how they can help. This all happens at Sugarloaf.”
Margit served on the Sugarloaf board for 10 years, including as the board president for two terms and board secretary for three terms, in addition to chairing numerous board committees. She also founded the fall fundraiser, the famous “North Shore Soup Supper.” This event has grown exponentially from a home in Minneapolis to a business center in Excelsior, Minnesota.
Margit currently serves as coordinator of volunteer services at Sugarloaf Cove where she manages over 40 volunteers providing training, coordination of site hosting, and special projects.
