Yampa Valley Crane Festival
Name:
Yampa Valley Crane Festival
Date:
September 12, 2014 - September 15, 2014
Event Description:
The Colorado Crane Conservation Coalition is dedicated to the conservation and protection of Sandhill Cranes in Colorado.
The Sandhill Crane is an iconic species of the Yampa Valley in NW Colorado. Returning in the spring from wintering grounds in New Mexico and Arizona, cranes nest and raise their young in wetland areas throughout the valley. Every September, during the peak of their stopover in the Yampa Valley, we present our annual crane festival. The purpose of the Yampa Valley Crane Festival is to educate the public about these ancient birds and to celebrate their presence in NW Colorado. "Once you have heard the call of a crane, you will remember it forever."
