The following program is a PBS
Wisconsin original production.
Wisconsin.
A landscape of endless
variety.
Carved by water.
Shaped by human hands.
Remote wild stretches of limitless
forest.
Wooded bluffs,
steely ports,
wetlands stretching from miles.
Breathtaking, sparkling.
From towering pines to
shimmering cities,
Wisconsin from the
air.
Funding for Wisconsin from the Air,
provided in part by Ron and
Colleen Wires.
Quick trip.
Proud to serve communities all
over Wisconsin.
Holiday vacations in memory
of Thomas Wildrick, a caring
steward of the land and Wisconsin's
natural treasures.
And Friends of Wisconsin Public
Television, encouraging you to
support public television in
Wisconsin.
The sun rises in Wisconsin.
A new day begins.
First light along Lake Michigan
shore.
First flight, Off Door County's
Eastern Edge.
Our journey begins in the northern
reaches.
A land of rocky coasts,
deep forests,
and stunning beauty.
Wisconsin is a place of many moods
and many vistas, and
the view from here has few equals.
This journey along the Northern Tier
reveals a landscape rich
with scenic treasures.
Exploring the north,
where water meets land and
sky.
We hope you've enjoyed this first
chapter of Wisconsin from
the air.
Hi, I'm Michelle Good from Wisconsin
Public Radio.
So we just traveled from Door
County through to Wausau
up through the North woods, and
then to the shores of our
inland sea, Lake Superior,
and looking up at the beautiful
scenery up there.
You don't get to see Wisconsin from
this perspective, from the air,
unless you're going to rent your own
plane or go and buy a drone,
the chance to see this
beautiful state we live in,
even more beautiful, even
more majestic.
It actually brought tears to my eyes
earlier in the day.
And you've only seen a part of
it. We have so much more to
show you in more of
Wisconsin from the Air, but as
well as in Wisconsin
water from the Earth and
Wisconsin winter from the
air. More beautiful Wisconsin
programming.
And it's all because of you.
When you become a member right now
at 1-800-236-3636.
Hello, I'm Diane Agans, here to
tell you how we would like to thank
you when you make that gift of
support by giving us a call or
going online right now.
As Michelle mentioned, we have some
incredible programs here.
The Wisconsin From the Air, we saw
just a bit of it, but there's
60 minutes on the
DVD that we would to send to you
with a $10 a month sustaining
level gift.
We'll send you the 60-minute version
of Wisconsin From The Air that
includes additional footage.
And also, the other two
programs that follow it, or
you could choose to get Wisconsin
Water From the Air with a $10
a month gift, or Wisconsin Winter
From the air with a $10 month
gift. Or better yet,
we will send you all three of
the DVDs when you call and make
a gift of $15 a month
to show your support for PBS
Wisconsin. So that's a great
idea.
We have something else special here
right now too that we'd like to
thank you with. If you make a gift
of support of $12 a month,
we will send you this historical
print.
This is from the Wisconsin
Historical Society, but this is
an 11 by 14 print called Wisconsin
from the Beautiful, and it
is actually the
winner of a conservation poster
contest from 1910.
This was drawn by a high school
student from Racine.
And then we have a special package,
too, that we'd like to thank you
with. If you call and make a give of
$20 a month at our sustaining
level, we will send you all three
DVDs, the Wisconsin
Historical Society print,
as well as...
Against this wonderful PBS Wisconsin
water bottle.
So, this is our way of saying thank
you for calling 1-800-236-3636.
Hi, folks, I'm Clint Walls.
I'm on staff here at PBS Wisconsin.
And Diane's just talked about some
wonderful ways that we'd like to say
thank you for becoming a sustaining
member of PBS Wisconsin,
so what is that?
Anyone can become a member, whether
you're a first time member or
you've already established, you've
had a membership with us for many,
many years, you can become sustainer
too. Well, what does it mean?
It basically means that you set
up a automatic membership,
so every single month you decide if
it will come from your bank account
or your credit card, and it
will automatically renew year after
year. It's super easy to do.
It's so convenient.
That's all you have to do, do it
once and you're set.
And you can take pride knowing that
you're making great programs like
this possible every day
all through the year.
So go ahead, make that phone call
right now. It's 1-800-236-3636.
This amazing program is only
possible because of
viewers like you,
members who show their support
by making a donation.
That money goes to support
the amazingly talented staff
that put this program
together.
It took them a week, a week.
They had to contend with weather.
They had get permission from
the Green Bay Packers to film.
They had got permission from
UW-Madison to film,
to fly over airspace, to
flyover Milwaukee.
They also used a camera that
was, there were only four of them in
existence at the time.
They had run to helicopter.
There was so much logistics
involved, not to mention
that they had to contend with
the weather.
But what's really important is
none of that could have happened
without your support.
So become a member now if you
appreciate this program, if you'd
like to see more of it, more
of them by making that
call 1-800-236-3636.
Well, this is the kind of
programming that you have come to
expect at PBS Wisconsin, and
it's possible only because of member
support such as yours, so thank you
so very much for the many,
many, years of support that
so many of you have done because
you make programs like this
possible. And again, the thank you
gifts that we have right now, that
truly is our way of saying thank you
for supporting PBS Wisconsin.
Again. The incredible breathtaking
journey over Wisconsin, whether it's
Wisconsin from the air, or Wisconsin
water from the area, or Wisconsin
winter from the era is
all available. You can get either
one of them for a $10 a month.
Sustaining gift level, or you can
get all three for a $15 a
month gift.
A reminder also that for a
12 dollar a month gift we have
this wonderful 11 by 14
print from the Wisconsin Historical
Society collection.
It's a conservation poster from
1910.
And then at the 20 dollar a
month level we will send you all
three DVDs, the Wisconsin
Conservation Poster, as well as
the PBS Wisconsin water bottle.
We couldn't do it without you.
We absolutely, you know,
Michelle talked about the talented
staff that's here.
Absolutely, but couldn't what we
couldn't do if it weren't for you.
So go ahead and give us a call or go
