The International Crane Foundation

The International Crane Foundation works worldwide to conserve cranes, and the ecosystems, watersheds, and flyways on which they depend. For more than 50 years, they have developed unique collaborations and led effective community-based conservation programs, important research projects, and innovative captive breeding and reintroduction efforts. They’re North America program focuses on the rarest crane in the world, the Whooping Crane, and the most common, the Sandhill Crane.

Each year, Sandhill Cranes and endangered Whooping Cranes undertake remarkable migrations across North America, traveling thousands of miles between breeding and wintering grounds. Here in Indiana, they make their home for the winter.

Join Angelica Solano, the International Crane Foundation’s Outreach Biologist Assistant for Indiana, for an engaging presentation that explores where North America’s cranes are right now, how and why they migrate, and the critical habitats they depend on along the way.
