In partnership with the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, the International Crane Foundation is excited to invite you to a community litter clean-up event for our wintering Whooping Cranes and Sandhill Cranes. Together, we will remove trash that has made its way into crane habitats to help keep our wetlands safe for cranes and other waterbirds.
This event is open to all ages; however, minors must be accompanied by their parents or a legal guardian. Please come dressed for the weather and working outdoors near water. Snacks, water, and work gloves will be provided, but you can bring your own. Volunteers will also receive a free gift from the International Crane Foundation as a token of our gratitude!
All clean ups will be held on the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. Pre-registration is encouraged. Please contact Olivia Burkholz (oburkholz@savingcranes.org) to get involved! You will be notified of the meeting location closer to the event.
