Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point, Protected nature center at Milford Point, Connecticut
The Coastal Center includes 8.4 acres of barrier beach adjacent to the 840-acre Charles Wheeler Salt Marsh at the Housatonic River mouth.
The Smith-Hubbell Wildlife Refuge and Bird Sanctuary established this location as a critical point for monitoring migratory patterns along Long Island Sound.
The center manages educational programs that connect students with nature through hands-on learning experiences in salt marshes, beaches, and coastal dunes.
Visitors can access the center Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM, and Sunday from noon to 4 PM.
The center features a live-streaming Osprey Cam mounted on an 18-foot tall nesting platform, recording the activities of nesting pairs.
