Testimonial from customer who went on the Twilight Ecotour on June 21st, 2007:
"Thanks to Adrian for providing such an unforgettable canoe trip through the most inaccessible areas of the Wye Marsh. It was truly thrilling to see the trumpeter swans take flight and splash about, the antics of the Caspian tern, the beaver and muskrat lodges as we paddled by, the beautiful marsh wildflowers and the amazing heron rookery. Adrian 's informative commentary, hospitality and good humour were matched only by the beauty of the Marsh and summer solstice sky at twilight.
The Wye Marsh is a wonderful local resource staffed with knowledgable and impassioned staff, which we encourage everyone to experience. It's simple, unspoiled beauty reminds us all of our true place in the world and the importance of harmony with nature.
Our compliments to a well-presented nature facility with excellent and diverse programming."
