We are teaming up again with the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge—and new in 2026 the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge—to lead our popular monthly Whooping Crane Walks this spring through fall in Wisconsin!

Join the International Crane Foundation during fall migration at the Sandhill Crane Viewing Tower at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area.

Join the Robert Cooper Audubon Society to learn about Whooping Cranes in the Eastern Migratory Population on Wednesday, October 21, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

A non-perishable donation for our local food pantry is your ticket to the Crane Discovery Center at our headquarters on Saturday, Oct. 25, to celebrate Good Neighbor Day!

For more than 50 years, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been one of the nation’s most effective tools for bringing wildlife back from the brink, and the Whooping Crane is among its clearest success stories. Now, sweeping changes under the Trump Administration are reshaping how the law works.

Our crane gates close for the 2025 visitor season on Oct. 31.

This fall, we’re bringing that hope on the road to Duluth, the Twin Cities, and Rochester from Nov. 5 – 10, 2026. Join the International Crane Foundation for stories from the field and an honest look at what it takes to protect cranes—and the wild places where they dance. 

Join us for a monthly morning bird walk at the White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area in Gueydan, Louisiana, beginning Saturday, Nov. 7 – March 13, 2027! We will meet in the parking area at the White Lake Birding Trail at 9 a.m. CT.

Join us for a morning bird walk at Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area in Linton, Indiana!
