Where is the only place in the world that you can see all 15 crane species? That place is Wisconsin's very own International Crane Foundation near Wisconsin Dells. Join us for a tour of this rare and very special environmental habitat. Protection of the cranes is paramount, and this area on which they depend has been carefully preserved and restored. This tour will serve as a great introduction to Thursday’s presentation “The Secret Lives of Cranes."
