The Sandhill crane migration along the Platte River in March is one of the greatest winged wildlife spectacles on Earth. Join your instructors, Michael Farrell and Mike Forsberg, as they travel to the Crane Trust to experience the migration from blinds on the river at sunset and sunrise. The class will be held March 8-9. You will stay overnight at the bunkhouse at the Crane Trust Headquarters and be introduced to conservationists who work to protect this migration and critical wildlife habitat in the Platte Valley year round.
The Platte River Crane Experience is a one-credit-hour, pass/no pass pop-up class offered by the College of Journalism and Mass Communications. Acceptance into the course is by application only. The application is open to all UNL students.
