The Great Crane Project

The Great Crane Project is a partnership project between the RSPB, the Wildlfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) and the Pensthorpe Trust, with major funding support from Viridor Credits Environmental Company.

It was set up with the aim of helping the re-colonisation of the UK by the crane and securing the crane's future as a breeding species. For nearly 400 years, these stunning birds have been missing from our wetlands. Drainage and hunting caused them to disappear as a breeding bird by the start of the 17th Century.

The next five years of the project will see the reintroduction of breeding cranes to the Somerset Levels. http://www.thegreatcraneproject.org.uk/
