In partnership with the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, we’re excited to invite you to a community litter cleanup event for our wintering Whooping Cranes and Sandhill Cranes on Jan. 19, from 8 to 10 a.m. Together, we will remove trash that has made its way into crane habitats to help keep our wetlands safe for cranes and other waterbirds.
