CRANE SAFARIS - Due to another fantastic response all of this winters crane safaris are now FULLY BOOKED - Sorry for any dissapointment caused.

Do you want a behind the scenes chance to see cranes like this on the Somerset Levels...?

Then read on!

Back for a third year the Great Crane Project is offering a unique opportunity to join our specialist team of monitoring volunteers as they carry out the daily crane survey on the Somerset Levels and Moors. 

So what is a Crane Safari about?

• Join members of the Great Crane Project monitoring team in the project vehicle as they go in search of the cranes, on and off road, using radio tracking equipment.

• Find the cranes in locations not normally accessible to the general public.

• Accompany the monitors on foot to get closer to the cranes.

• Learn how to identify individual birds by their coloured leg rings.

• Enjoy amazing views of the cranes while the monitors record information about their behaviour. 

And if this wasn't enough you'll enjoy a delicious lunch at the Willows and Wetlands Centre in Stoke St Gregory www.englishwillowbaskets.co.uk, followed by our wonderful film 'Return of the Cranes' and a free tour of the basket works.

The cost of a safari is £15 per person and they run between November and March, Monday to Saturday for up to 2 people.
