Mark your calendars for our annual Member Appreciation Day! Sign up early for behind-the-scenes tours of Crane City*, which are first-come, first-served the day of the event (gates open at 9:00 a.m.) Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see our captive breeding facility up close. During the tour, please excuse our mess while we renovate our crane homes!

Other special activities include a guided prairie walk, radio-tracking demonstrations, photo opportunities with Hope, our Whooping Crane mascot, and special talks by our expert staff!

Don’t forget your membership card! Not a member? Not a problem – click here to join the flock today, email our staff, or call 608-356-9462 ext. 807. Memberships may also be purchased or renewed at the Visitor Center the day of the event.
