MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A group of legislators, farmers and conservationists studying how to manage Wisconsin’s sandhill crane population is set to hold its first meeting next month. The Joint Legislative Council’s 12-member Study Committee on Sandhill Cranes is set to meet Aug. 1 at the Horicon Marsh State Wildlife Area and hear presentations by a state bird ecologist and an International Crane Foundation director. The Joint Legislative Council is made up of the Legislature’s attorneys. The council puts together committees to study issues every even-numbered year. The sandhill crane committee will eventually recommend legislation to manage the crane population and reduce crop damage the cranes cause. Options could include seeking federal approval for a hunting season.
