Initiative: Outreach & Education

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.

Initiative: Outreach & Education

Save the date for the Great Midwest Crane Fest – Celebrating Community and Conservation in Baraboo, Wisconsin, from Nov. 15 to 16, as thousands of Sandhill Cranes gather near the Wisconsin River before flying south for the winter.

“The haunting calls of the world’s cranes are sadder today because they have lost a devoted friend, and the conservation community has lost a true hero.” ~ Kenneth Strom, National Audubon Society

On September 19, 2018, we lost a dear friend and champion for the conservation of cranes and wetlands, Jim Harris.
