Grab a lunch, slip on your water shoes and join the Connecticut Audubon Society with guided canoe tours of the Charles Wheeler Salt Marsh at Milford Point through October. Spend the day learning basic canoeing techniques from a trained instructor and see Connecticut's flourishing wildlife (including the marsh's three new Osprey chicks) while learning about the history and vitality of one of Connecticut's most intriguing ecosystems.
