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.

Update: The Wisconsin Legislative Council Study Committee on Sandhill Cranes is scheduled to hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Wisconsin State Capitol, Room 412 East (2 E. Main St., Madison). View the meeting agenda here.

Below is the most recent update for the Eastern Migratory Population of Whooping Cranes. During August, our wild-hatched chick has reached fledging! A huge thank you to the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Departments of Natural Resources of flyway states, the International Crane Foundation, and all the volunteers who help us keep track of the cranes throughout the year.

Since the reintroduction of Whooping Cranes into the Eastern United States in 2001, researchers have carefully tracked the survival and success of the Eastern Migratory Population (EMP) population.
