Sandhill Crane Viewing Days  This year’s annual Tennessee Sandhill Crane Festival will be celebrating the migration of thousands of Sandhill Cranes to the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 14-15 from 8am - 6pm on both days. This free, family oriented event takes place in the Birchwood Community at three locations:
The Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge: Guides with spotted scopes will help visitors see the cranes and other wildlife from the gazebo.
Cherokee Removal Memorial Park: This moving memorial is dedicated to the Cherokee Indians who were removed from their lands during the Trail of Tears. During the festival, there will be special Native American presentations.
Birchwood Elementary School: The majority of activities will take place here. Due to limited parking at the crane viewing area a free shuttle bus is available from the school to the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge and the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park. There will be merchandise, food, special displays, and wildlife exhibits, entertainment – including music, films and a raptor show presented by the American Eagle Foundation. Blue Moon wildlife cruises will also be offered.
For more information and directions visit: www.TNcranefestival.org or contact Tennessee Overhill at 877-510-5765. This event is sponsored by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
