Morning Wildlife Watch by Canoe

Start the day on calm water, where wildlife feels closer and the landscape feels wider. This beginner-friendly canoe trip focuses on steady paddling, frequent pauses to observe, and plenty of time for questions with an experienced Mass Audubon naturalist.
You'll watch for birds and other wetland wildlife, learn how waterways support whole communities of plants and animals, and pick up practical tips for improving water quality in your own watershed. This paddle will explore a calm stretch of the Housatonic River lined with wildflowers where beavers, turtles, muskrats, and wetland-loving birds make their homes.
