Cleanup for the Cranes

This litter-pickup event is your opportunity to cleanup the refuge in preparation for the return of migratory ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, and whooping cranes that overwinter at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. The event will start at the Visitor Center at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge at 8:00 AM where volunteers will gather and divide into teams before heading out to the refuge to pickup litter. Teams will meet back at the Visitor Center to compete with other teams for which team collected the most trash and recyclables!

Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes, bring bug spray and water.

The Cleanup for the Cranes is an official Tennessee RiverLine event sponsored by Decatur Morgan County Tourism, Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, and the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge Association.
