- 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 for miles.
Breathtaking,
sparkling,
dazzling.
From towering pines
to shimmering cities
Wisconsin From the Air.
- Funding for Wisconsin From the Air
provided, in part
by Ron and Colleen Weyers,
Kwik 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 the 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's 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.

[birds chirping]
A new dawn reveals
acres of endless Wisconsin farmland,
farmland stretching far beyond
the day's horizon.
Within the late summer landscape
places of gathering,
community, and memories.
Soaring over the cultivated fields,
we rise to see the abundance of this fertile place.
For generations of families,
this land has provided
a home, a livelihood, a life.
The rolling fabric of fields
leads on.
Leads on towards the wilderness,
towards the water
as we journey from the Great River
to the Great Lake.
