Sunset in the Saltmarsh

Service Description

Join us as we explore one of Connecticut’s most ecologically rich coastal wetlands. We’ll begin our journey during the golden hour, when the marsh glows with warm evening light. As the sun sets, we’ll paddle back under the moonlight, a peaceful way to experience this vibrant ecosystem Connecticut’s expansive marshes are important habitats where fresh water from inland streams meets the tides of Long Island Sound. We’ll paddle through broad stretches of salt marsh grasses that shelter nesting birds, crustaceans, and young fish. Watch for snowy egrets, great blue herons, oystercatchers, and ospreys diving for their next meal. At low tide, exposed mudflats become a buffet for willets, yellowlegs, and other shorebirds probing for invertebrates.
