Underwater Videos: A Crash Course Virtual Workshop On What We Do
So many of you have come along with us as we explored under the waters surface of the Allegheny River over the last 863 days. We’ve learned more than we could’ve ever imagined about these special ecosystems and habitats, and the diverse critters that call them home.
During this time, we’ve had hundreds of questions about how we get our videos, what equipment we use, etc. This workshop aims to answer those questions. After seeing our community and love for the Allegheny River grow, it’s our hope that others may be able to learn from our techniques and start nurturing a love for a waterways in their backyard.
Below you’ll find more information by clicking on a question. If you have additional questions, please email Piper at piper@alleghenyoutfitters.com.
