Dear Journey North,

My name is Sara and I would like to share my crane thoughts with you. I have always been interested in endangered species. The Whooping Crane is important to me because it was once a native to Wisconsin, my home state. Many people don't know about cranes or understand their habitat, which are wetlands. I?m afraid that no matter how successful the Whooping Crane Reintroduction Program is, if people continue to destroy wetlands, cranes will disappear again and maybe forever.

The best part of doing Change For Cranes is giving money to the International Crane Foundation and knowing that I am doing something great to help the cranes.





Dear Journey North,
My name is Jessica. The first time I went to the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin I was amazed at how many different cranes there were and how beautiful they are. My favorite crane is the Blue Crane. I love to hear the unison calls of the cranes. I can't wait until the Sandhills return this spring so that I can hear them. I will also be happy when all the Whooping Cranes make it back home from Florida safe.

I like doing CFC. It's been fun for me. I like teaching other kids about cranes and getting them involved. I hope they all know that we might be kids but we can still do good things and make this world a better place.

Try This!
