40 Years for the International Crane Foundation

In 2013 the International Crane Foundation is celebrating its 40th year of saving the world's crane population. Their efforts have saved wetlands and increased crane populations as well as improved peoples livelihoods on 5 continents.

Located in Baraboo, it is the only place where you can see all 15 crane species. The ICF is open to the public April 15th to October 31th from 9AM to 5PM.  There are tours available in the summer, or just come visit the birds or hike the trails. Find more information about cranes, visiting the foundations or donating at the International Crane Foundation website savingcranes.org

Work Play Earth Day

The 5th Annual Work Play Earth Day is coming and the Friends of Wisconsin State Parks are looking for lots of volunteers to help.

 

Events will be held over 4 Saturdays: April 13th, April 20th, April 27th and May 4th at 20 state parks, trails and forests. Volunteers will clean up trash, rake leaves, paint picnic tables and buildings, plant trees, build memorial benches, prepare campgrounds and make the park ready for another year of fun.
