Annual Midwest Crane Count

A century ago, only a few sandhill cranes were left in Wisconsin. Today, thanks to protection, their population exceeds 10,000. Each year, volunteers coordinate efforts to visit designated sites in Manitowoc County to count courting sandhills. 

If you'd like to help (or join a seasoned crane counter to learn the technique), contact Jess at jessicaj@woodlanddunes.org or call (920)793-4007.
