SUMMARY:Wilton's 4th Annual Duck Race to Benefit Trout Unlimited and Norwalk River Conservation NEW DATE!
DESCRIPTION:Look what’s back again! Traditionally hosted by Point Break Tacos\, which closed doors last year\, the 4th annual Duck Race returns\, with the torch to oversee it being passed to Trout Unlimited.\n\n\nTrout Unlimited is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of freshwater streams\, rivers\, and associated upland habitats for trout\, salmon\, other aquatic species\, and bringing communities together for this mission.\n\n\nThe duck race will take place on Sunday\, May 25 at 10 a.m.\, starting at Schenck’s Island in Wilton Town Center. While the ducks will be racing down the river for about 20 minutes\, participants and guests can explore downtown Wilton for local shopping and eateries as well as learn a few fly-fishing tricks from Trout Unlimited.\n\n\nThe participant whose duck crosses the finish line first will win a Sweet Summer prize and the infamous “Big Duck.”  Racing ducks are limited to 150 (one per registrant) and residents and guests are encouraged to register as soon as possible. The cost to enter is $25 per race duck\, with 100% of the proceeds supporting Trout Unlimited’s conservation mission.\n\n\nVisit the event website for additional details and registration instructions.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Wilton Land Trust Hosts Birding Expedition: Birds & Binoculars
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Land Trust\, co-hosted by birding expert Joe Bear\, for a fall migration bird walk at Schenck’s Island River Walk.\n\n\nThe birding expedition is led by Bear\, the expert birder\, environmentalist\, gardener\, and Wilton resident. The fall migration bird walk explores Wilton Land Trust’s Schenck’s Island river walk. Together\, explore this birding hot spot that offers diverse habitats\, including open fields\, woodlands\, edges\, and swamps.\n\n\nRain or shine\, Bear leads a leisurely two-hour walk\, pointing out various bird species\, defining calls\, explaining behaviors\, and answering questions. Whether you are a seasoned birder or new to birdwatching\, join in for an exciting adventure to witness the beauty of migrating birds in Wilton.\n\n\nGrab your binoculars\, water bottles\, supportive shoes\, tick and bug repellant\, and cameras\, and join us for a morning of adventure\, exercise\, fresh air\, and learning.
