The Allegheny River Islands: Urban Oases | 2010

From the shore you can see them, but very few people have been on the islands that dot the Allegheny River within a few miles of Pittsburgh. This 2010 WQED Special explores the islands and takes viewers ashore to not only show the conservation efforts - but to see what’s actually there: from wildlife and native plants to human inhabitants and artifacts left behind. #EarthMonth

I live here. These videos are outstanding. If you're a metal detecting fan this river is loaded with treasure finds.
