Floating by the Courson Wilderness Island During the 2021 Allegheny River Clean-Up

Peacefully floating by the 62-acre Courson Wilderness Island, part of the Allegheny Islands Wilderness, on the National Wild and Scenic Allegheny River, just upriver of Tidioute, Pennsylvania on a spectacularly sunny September northwestern Pennsylvania day.
This videoclip was recorded during the 13th annual Allegheny River Clean-Up on September 17th, 2021.
Thankfully, the Allegheny Islands Wilderness is permanently protected from all forms of odious anthropocentric human development under the auspices of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the Pennsylvania Wilderness Act of 1984:

Nice video! I am a subscriber, and I am always happy to watch your videos, especially ones on old-growth and forest-ecology (that is what I plan to study here in PA when I graduate).
