The Trumpeter Swan Society

Program and Presentations of the 2022 Swan Conference

Swan Conference

You can pick and choose your options!

Plan to attend all 3 days, or pick and choose your activities and days.

If you want to attend only one or two days of presentations, choose the Single Day option.

Or maybe you want to attend just the all-day Field Trip and/or Gala Banquet so you can explore the Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells area on your own.

You can do that too. It’s up to you!

Field Trip- Wednesday, July 8

The all-day Field Trip will explore conservation treasures in Baraboo area

The field trip includes visits to the International Crane Foundation, Aldo Leopold's The Shack, and Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, one of the original swan release sites for Wisconsin's swan restoration program.

On Wednesday, be part of a fun and educational all-day Field Trip 

A fantastic all day field trip is planned for Wednesday, July 8.  It will be led by the renowned George Archibald, founder of the International Crane Foundation (ICF) who “knows where every nesting swan is near Baraboo.”  Following a tour of ICF and a chance to see the world’s crane species, you’ll explore the Center at the Leopold Foundation (home to Leopold's The Shack), then on to Necedah National Wildlife Refuge.

We'll explore the area to view young swan families in their summer wetland habitat and much more!  A fun and fascinating field trip is in store!
