Our Crane Fest Art Auction supports Crane Conservation including our Grain for Cranes project.
Each fall, Sandhills from around the Greater Yellowstone, including Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, congregate in large numbers in Teton Valley to build up the energy reserves needed for their long migration to their wintering grounds because of the valley’s unique alignment of wetland roosting habitat and farmland. As a result, the Valley hosts the largest pre-migration staging population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and one of the most important staging areas for the Rocky Mountain Population of Sandhill Cranes.
This alignment of resources is unique and irreplaceable. With development pressure increasing across the region, the farm fields that Sandhill’s rely on for food are becoming fragmented and disappearing, replaced by homes and subdivisions. To ensure that Sandhill’s have the food resources they need, the Teton Regional Land Trust and the Greater Yellowstone Sandhill Crane Initiative members have partnered with landowners on the Grain for Cranes Program. This annual program establishes annual food plots with willing landowners to ensure adequate crane food resources for staging Sandhill Cranes. You can contribute directly to our food plot program by donating $250. Your contribution enables us to grow, cut, and leave one acre of barley, the preferred food resource for staging Sandhills. Your support of this program ensures that they leave the valley in prime condition to survive their long journey south.
