Join us for a crane tour to witness one of the greatest conservation success stories of the 20th century in action! This tour begins with a short presentation on Leopold’s legacy, crane history, and sandhill crane behaviors, as presented by one of the Aldo Leopold Foundation’s own Future Leader Fellows. After the presentation, you will drive your personal vehicle just a mile down the road from the Visitor Center parking lot to the Shack parking lot. From there, enjoy a short quarter-mile hike past the famed Leopold Shack itself and into the crane blind where you’ll experience the raucous sights and sounds of the cranes as they land in their traditional staging area for the evening!
The Aldo Leopold Foundation was founded in 1982 with a mission to foster the land ethic through the legacy of Aldo Leopold, awakening an ecological conscience in people throughout the world.
