Sandy Douglas from the The Crane Trust delivered a presentation to us viz Zoom on “A Place for Cranes.” Sandy opened with a video showing the Sandhill cranes in their habitat. The trust was formed in 1978, after an environmental crisis of the river habitat degraded: channels deepened, invasive species were present, gravel mining and agriculture greatly affected the environment. She also spoke about conservation strategies, science and research done on the the cranes, Sandhill & Whooping Crane facts and behavior. Due to the pandemic, a virtual crane experience for 2021 can be found at cranetrust.org.
