CROSSVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is proud to announce a special event celebrating over 40 years of wildlife conservation and the diversity of species found at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge.
The Hiwassee Waterfowl and Shorebird Festival will be held Dec. 5-6 from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Hiwassee Refuge located off of Highway 60 between Dayton and Cleveland.
Now that the area has served as the home of the annual Sandhill Crane Viewing Days for the past 18 years and participated in the experimental introduction of the endangered whooping crane project, the area is best known for the cranes. This year’s event will focus on the many years of conservation efforts by TWRA and several wildlife conservation groups and celebrate that success.
