Sandhill Crane Bus Trip

Polk County Education Programs, Polk County

Saturday, March 24, 2012

Join us on a trip to the Platte River near Kearney, Nebraska to view the migration of nearly 500,000 sandhill cranes. These large birds fill the skies, fields, and river valley as they stop to eat and rest on their long migration northward. We’ll get off the bus to view cranes at Fort Kearny State Park and the Rowe Sanctuary. We will also visit the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument while in the Kearney area.   Fee: $150; includes motorcoach transportation and lodging (double occupancy), Sunday continental breakfast, and admission fees. Departure from the Living History Farms parking lot on Saturday at 7:15 a.m. and return on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Minimum age 12. Registration deadline is March 9.
No refunds will be given after the registration deadline, unless PCC needs to cancel or your spot can be filled by someone on our waiting list.
