This Whooping Crane day consider supporting International Crane Foundation and Platte Basin Timelapse.

✨ In celebration of Whooping Crane Day, there's still time to double your donation to Pedaling the Whooper Highway! If you give by the end of May, your donation will be matched by our generous donors, Diane Crookham-Johnson and another lover of cranes, for up to $20,000. Give today: bit.ly/pedalingwhooperhighway

Conservation photographer Michael Forsberg and our Central Flyway Program Director, Dr. Andy Caven, are continuing their two-month journey from the Texas Gulf Coast to central Saskatchewan. They will bike 2,500 miles through the heart of the Great Plains–following an ancient migration of one of the rarest birds in the world, the Whooping Crane.

Mike and Andy invite you to be part of the journey—bike with them, meet them along the route, or support the effort through a donation.

Your donation will support Platte Basin Timelapse and the International Crane Foundation for the bike trip, other regional outreach and education efforts, and Whooping Crane conservation in the Central Flyway.
