Some River Time

Take a trip downriver this week – my story on the addition of the Brunsweiler River to the state's Wild River System will air. It's a chance to look at one of the prettiest places in the state. In the heart of winter, it's great fun to dive into "green" footage. Actually, this footage is best described as multi-colored, it was a fall day when we shot.

No matter the time/color of year, this is a beautiful place. The section of the Brunsweiler that was saved winds through Ashland County. It was very near and dear to Wisconsin conservationist Martin Hanson and he played a critical role in securing the river's designation as "wild".

There are not many state wild rivers, just five: the Brunsweiler, the Pine, the Pike, the Popple, and the Totogatic. Next we'll travel the "Toto" (Totogatic) It too, was just recently added to the state's wild river system. Sit back and enjoy the paddle as we take to the Brunsweiler and next week, the Toto.
