Wisconsin's Trumpeter Swan Fund

Two essential keys to the success of Wisconsin's Trumpeter Swan Recovery Program are adequate funding and an aware, educated public. The Trumpeter Swan Fund rewards its donors with interesting information they won't find elsewhere, plus a chance to interact with swan biologists in the field.

Donations are used to cover costs of aerial surveys, health checks, other monitoring activities, and public education efforts. By marking (using numbered plastic collars) and monitoring most of Wisconsin's trumpeter swans since 1989, the Wisconsin DNR has compiled the most complete set of information on the ecology and movements of this species that exists anywhere.
