Agencies say the annual cost to operate the proposed hunt far outweighs revenues by $1.6 million and would completely overwhelm current farmer assistance programs.

In Wisconsin, you can view a list of local rehabilitators on the Department of Natural Resources website. Our team is available to answer questions or recommend rehabilitators in the state who have the expertise and facilities to work with cranes. If in another state or location, we recommend contacting your local natural resources or wildlife agency for assistance.

We asked our staff for their top ten facts about crane migration to create this list – we hope you are inspired to learn more about the mystery of bird migration!

We believe people and cranes—and other wildlife—can coexist peacefully on urban, suburban and rural landscapes. As with many neighbors, coexisting peacefully might require some patience and creativity.

The International Crane Foundation will receive a $25 donation for each registered new plate and every time you renew your license plate in the future. By doing so, you can show your support for cranes and give an easy recurring gift to support our work with Sandhill and Whooping Cranes in Wisconsin.

For the third time in 14 years, the Wisconsin Legislature is attempting to mandate the state’s Department of Natural Resources to create a Sandhill Crane hunting season.
