We are excited to announce that there are four new Whooping Cranes flying over the wetlands of Wisconsin! Each spring, Whooping Cranes return to their home marshes, pile vegetation high to build their nests, and carefully lay up to two eggs. They incubate their eggs for about a month, and then fuzzy little Whooping Crane chicks hatch.
Celebrating five years of community and conservation, the Great Midwest Crane Fest returns Nov. 14 & 15. For tickets and more information, visit www.greatmidwestcranefest.org
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.
