The International Crane Foundation's Interpretive Programs Manager, Andy Bingle, will give a presentation entitled "How Charismatic Cranes Inspire Peace and Conservation" in the Reedsburg Library's Community Room. The program will highlight how cranes have inspired the art and literature of several cultures for millenia. At the International Crane that inspiration fuels ongoing efforts to protect not only cranes, but the habitats and ecosystems they rely on.
This coming year, the ICF's Baraboo headquarters will be closed as the Foundation makes renovations to its grounds and visitor center. According to Bingle upgrades are being made to the crane environments so that each exhibit will feature a pond surrounded by native plants that more closely resemble natural habitats. The visitor center will be expanded with new murals telling the story of the landscapes and environments where cranes live. Interpretive exhibits will explain ongoing work around the world. The ICF headquarters is scheduled to re-open in the spring of 2020.
Join us for this presentation to learn more about the fascinating world of cranes and to see a preview of the new International Crane Foundation headquarters. There is no registration or fee for this program.
