IN A SERIES
OF PROGRAMS
THAT PBS WISCONSIN
HAS DONE
ABOUT NATURAL
WISCONSIN, ABOUT THE
WATER, THE
WINTER, THE
TREES, THE
WILDLIFE, THE
BIRDS. AND
THIS PROGRAM TO
ME REALLY
EXEMPLIFIES WHAT'S BEST
ABOUT PBS WISCONSIN. IF
YOU LOOK
AT THIS
AND THINK
ABOUT NOT JUST
THE PHOTOGRAPHY,
WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL, NOT
JUST THE
MUSIC, WHICH
IS ORIGINALLY
COMPOSED FOR THI
S AND
IS WONDERFUL, NOT JUST
THE EDITING,
BUT THE FAC
T THAT IT
WAS DONE.
BECAUSE WE ARE THE
ONLY PLACE THAT IS
GOING TO BE DOING
THIS
ND OF WORK
FOR YOU
. WE
KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THIS
STATE IS
TO ALL
OF US.
WE KNOW
HOW IMPORTANT
THE NORTHWOODS IS.

MUC H
YOU CAR
E ABOUT
THE WILDLIFE AND
THE WILDERNESS,
SO THIS
PROGRAM IS
REALLY A PROMISE TO YOU
THAT THESE ARE
THINGS THAT MATTER
TO US
AND WE WANT T
O KEEP
DOING BECAUSE
THEY MATTER TO YOU.
SO THIS IS A
GREAT TIME
TO CALL
AND LET
US KNOW
THAT AT
1-800-236-3636 .
>> HI.

I'M CLINT WALZ, A
STAFF HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN. THERE'S
LOTS OF
GREAT WAY
S FOR
YOU TO MAKE YOUR
GIFT OF
SUPPORT TO
THIS GREAT
PROGRAM. YOU MIGHT HAVE
SEEN THE
ONE RIGHT
BEFORE THIS,
SOUTHERN VISTAS.
WE HAD SO
MUCH GREAT
VIEWER
MMENTS FROM THA
T PROGRAM.
ROBIN FROM
VIROQUA SAID THIS
KIND OF
PROGRAM CONNECTS PEOPLE
TO THE BEAUTY
AND NATURAL
RESOURCES OF OUR STATE.
IT PROMOTES
DESTINATIONS OR
OUTDOOR RECREATION
AND ENCOURAGES GREATER
PRIDE AND
STEWARDSHIP TO
PRESERVE THOSE
TREASURES. THIS IS
WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
THIS IS
WHAT PBS WISCONSIN
DOES SO
WELL. IT
CONNECTS US
TO OUR
WORLD. PBS
WISCONSIN, THE
WORLD IS
A BETTER
PLACE WITH PBS
WISCONSIN AND PBS
WISCONSIN IS A
BETTER PLACE WHEN
YOU'RE IN IT.
YOU CAN

THAT MEANS EVERY
MONTH YOUR
CONTRIBUTION COMES OUT OF
YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT
OR YOUR
CREDIT CARD.
IT'S SUPER EASY TO
DO. IT'S SUPER

BUDGET. AND MAYBE
YOU'R E
ALREADY A

WHEN YOU
DO AND YOU
CAN MAKE
THESE GREAT
PROGRAMS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN
DO THAT
BY CALLING

HERE ARE
TWO IMPORTANT
THINGS. IMPORTANT THING
ONE IS
GETTING
TSIDE IS THE
BEST THING Y

THAT.
D ONE OF
THE THINGS
THIS PROGRAM
DOES, I
HOPE, IS
ENCOURAGE YOU,
SIT BACK,
BECAUSE YOU'RE
NOT OUTSIDE
WATCHING THIS,
AND SAY
I'D LIKE TO GO
THERE. AND YOU
CAN .
THAT'S THE GREAT
THING ABOUT
THIS. IMPORTANT THING
NUMBER TWO
IS THAT
WISCONSIN --
I WAS
GOING TO
SAY
WISCONSIN PUBLIC TELEVISION.
I'M THE FIRST ONE
TO DO IT
IN THE
WORK. PBS WISCONSIN
-- I USE
D T O
WORK HERE.
WHAT CAN I SAY.
PBS WISCONSIN
IS A PROGRAM THAT
IS ALWAYS GOING TO
BE CARING
ABOUT WHAT
YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN, WHAT YOU
WANT TO
DO, WHERE YOU
WANT TO GO. ONE OF THE
THINGS I
LOV E
ABOUT THE
STATION IS
HERE YOU
CAN ACTUALLY GO
TO THESE
PLACES. BUT
PROGRAMS AROUND THE WORLD
TAKE YOU T
O PLACES
YOU CAN'T GO
TO OR
EVEN IF
YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN OPERA,
YOU MAY
NOT BE
ABLE TO GET T
O THE
OPERA , BUT
YOU CAN
GET TO
THE MET
WIT H
US.
IS IS A
TREASURE ABOUT
THI S
BEAUTIFUL STATE. THE
BODY OF WORK,
THE TOTALITY
OF WORK
PRESENTED HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN
IS SOMETHING
PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY AND
WORTH SUPPORTING AT
1-800-236-3636. >> IT
IS A PIECE
OF ART
. WE'RE
SEEING BEAUTIFUL
IMAGES. THE
CINEMATOGRAPHY IS
GORGE
ST, THE MUSIC.

IT UP AND

FEE L
BETTER. WE'RE ASKING
FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF
THIS WONDERFUL PROGRAMMING

OR MORE.
A DVD,
YOU CAN
HAVE A DVD
OR BLU

WORKS IN
BOTH PLAYERS.
FOR $12 A
MONTH OR
MORE, BEYOND
THE TREES.

THE HAT,
THE DVD
AND THE
BOOK. GIVE
US A CALL
AT 1-800-236-3636
! !
1-800-236-3636. >> AND, YOU
KNOW, THROUGH
ALL THE CHANGE
IN THE
WORLD THERE ARE A COUPLE
OF THINGS
THAT HAVE
STAYED THE SAME.
ONE, YOU
CAN ALWAYS
FIN D GREAT
PROGRAMS ON PBS

T CAPTURES
ALL OF THAT.
BUT BEYOND THIS
PROGRAM, WHICH
IS
EXTRAORDINARY, THINK ABOUT
ALL THE TIMES
THAT YOU SIT
DOWN

SAY THAT WAS
WORTH DOING.
AND THINK ABOUT HOW
MANY TIMES
YOU MIGHT NOT
SAY THAT
WITH OTHER TELEVISION.
NOT THAT I DON'T
LOVE A LOT OF
THE
DRAMAS ON
COMMERCIAL TELEVISION,
BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY
ABOUT

HIS, YOU'RE
AWARE OF
THE BEAUTY OF
THE PHOTOGRAPHY
AND THE MUSIC.
WE TALKED
ABOUT THIS.

THINK ABOUT
ANOTHER CRUCIAL GROUP
OF PEOPLE,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND THOSE ARE THE
FOLKS WHO
LITERALLY M
AKE THIS
POSSIBLE BY
THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS.
YOU
ARE CRITICAL
TO THAT,
BUT THERE'S
OTHER PEOPLE
WHO STEP UP

CONTRIBUTION THAT CAN
REALLY MAKE A
DIFFERENCE. YOU
CAN SEE
SOME OF
THEIR NAMES
HERE. IF YOU
WATCH THE
PROGRAM, YOU'LL
SEE THEM AS
WELL. IT'S
NOT INCIDENTAL
THAT WE
WANT TO
LET PEOPLE
KNOW WHO THEY
ARE BECAUSE
WHAT THEY'VE
DONE IS
SAY THIS
IS IMPORTANT
ENOUGH THAT I WANT TO
MAKE SURE
IT HAPPENS. I
WANT TO
MAKE SURE
THIS PARTICULAR
PROGRAM HAPPENS. WHEN WE
TALK TO
THEM ABOUT
THAT, THEY
SAY THIS IS IMPORTANT,
THIS MATTERS.
EVERYTHING YOU
DO MATTERS,
BUT THIS
PARTICULAR ONE
MATTERS. AND I
THINK IT'S
SOMETHING WORTH
KEEPING IN MIND,
THAT ACROSS THE
STATE THERE ARE COMMUNITIES, THERE ARE
NEIGHBORS, THERE ARE NEIGHBORHOODS AND INDIVIDUALS
AND COMPANIES AND
ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT PBS
WISCONSIN. SO
TUC K
ALL THAT

>> HI.

M A VOLUNTEER
HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN. AND
I JUST
-- THIS
PROGRAM IS
REMARKABLE. IT'S
REALLY STUNNING TO
ME. IN ITS
BEAUTY. IN
THE QUALITY OF
THE IMAGERY.
THE WAY
IT'S EDITED,
TOO, IS
SOMETHING THAT'S
REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.
IT'S SO GOOD
THAT YOU
DON'T PAY
ATTENTION TO IT.
THAT IS THE
DEFINITION OF
REALLY GOOD
TECHNIQUE WHEN
YOU'RE WATCHING A PROGRAM.
THAT IT
JUST COVERS
YOU, IT
JUST EMBRACES YOU.
THIS PROGRAM
IS A PROGRAM THAT
DOES THAT SO WELL.
NOW, I CAN'T
SAY IT'S
NOT BECAUSE OF THE
BEAUTIFUL NORTHWOODS.
THAT HAS SOMETHING TO
DO WITH
IT, TOO.
BUT ON THE OTHER H
AND THIS
PROGRAM, WE'VE
DONE SO MANY
PROGRAMS HERE
OF SO MANY
DIFFERENT SCENES
IN WISCONSIN
AND
THEY'VE ALL
BEEN REMARKABLELIKE THIS.

IT, THIS IS A
COMMITMENT THAT WE
MAKE TO TO

HI, FOLKS.
I'M CLINT WALZ. I'M ON
STAFF HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN.
I SHARED A FEW OF
THE RESPONSES
WE RECEIVED
FROM THE
FIRST OF
OUR SCENI
C TREASURES.
THIS IS FROM
KATIE IN
EDGERTON. KATIE SAYS
WE ENJOY
SEEING PLACES
WE HAVEN'T
VISITED YET
AND ADDING
THE M
TO OUR
TO-DO LIST.
OUR 11-YEAR-OLD
SON MADE A
LIST OF
PLACES THAT H
E WANTS
TO VISIT.
IT WAS A LOVELY
WAY TO
SPEND TIME
TOGETHER. THANKS FOR
MAKING AMAZING
PROGRAMMING FOR OUR
FAMILY.
ANK YOU.AND ANK
YOU IF
YOU'VE MADE
YOUR GIFT
OF SUPPORT
TO SUPPORT "WISCONSIN SCENIC TREASURE
S." THERE'S
STILL PLENTY O
F TIME
TO DO THAT.
ONE WAY
IS BY
BECOMING A SUSTAINING MEMBER.
IT'S SUPER
EASY TO
DO.
L YOU HAVE TO DO
IS C L
1-800-236-3636 AND TALK TO ONE
OF OUR
GREAT VOLUNTEERS. >>
SO HERE'S
AN IMPORTANT
THING. I'M WITH
THE MOST
IMPORTANT PERSON IN
THE ROOM.
THIS IS EMILY
JULKA, ONE OF
THE PRODUCERS OF
THI S
PROGRAM. I
WORKED AS A
PRODUCER FOR A
WHILE AND I
CAN TELL
YOU, IT'
S HARD.
AND TO
DO A PROGRAM
THAT'S EXQUISITE
LIKE THIS IS
REALLY HARD, SO
CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. >> SO
YOU GOT A
WHOLE STATE
AND YOU GOT
AN HOUR.
HOW DO YOU
NARROW THAT
DOWN? >> YEAH.
GOOD QUESTION.
WELL, WE
KNEW WE
WANTED TO
NARROW IT DOWN TO
THE NORTHWOODS, WHICH
WAS A LITTLE
BIT OF HELP, AND
FROM THERE W
E START
WITH A SPREAD SHEET,
LIK E
ANY GOOD
PROJECT. WE
HAVE A SPREAD
SHEET AND A
MAP. >> I DIDN'T
HAVE SPREAD
SHEETS. >> AND
THEN WE
LOOK FOR
WHAT MAKES A
LOCATION LOOK
DIFFERENT FROM ANOTHER
ONE. WE
HAD FOUR
SEASONS THIS SHOW,
AND SO THAT WAS
HELPFUL BECAUSE
IT HELPS DISTINGUISH
THE LOCATIONS FROM EACH
OTHER. BUT
LIKE ST. PETER'S DOME
IS THE
HIGHEST POINT IN
THE NICOLET
NATIONAL
FOREST, SO
THAT S
ETS IT
APART. WE
WORKED WITH A
PROJECT ADVISER
FROM THE
DNR AND
HE GAVE A
LOT OF
EXPERTISE. >> THE
PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE FORMED ARE
REALLY CRITICAL
TO THE WORK
THAT'S DONE
HERE, CERTAINLY IN
THIS PROGRAM.
BUT NOT ONLY
IN THIS
PROGRAM. AND IT'S
SOMETHING THAT
I REALLY VALUE ABOUT
THIS ORGANIZATION, THAT
IT REACHES
OUT TO
PEOPLE AND
INVITES THEM TO
WORK WITH
US.>>
YEAH. >> YEAH.YEAH.>>
THOSE ARE
SOME OF
MY BEST
MEMORIES ARE
GOING OUT INTO
THE FIELD WITH
THE PEOPLE
FROM THE
DNR,
FROM THE NATURE CON VER
CERTIFICATE VANSY. >>
WE'RE GOING TO
BE BACK,
1-800-236-3636. >> WE'VE HEARD
EMILY TALK ABOUT
THE PRODUCTION OF
THIS PROGRAM
AND IT'S SO
LABOR I NTENSIVE.
IT TAKES A
LOT OF
RESOURCES TO CREATE
THESE PROGRAMS
FOR YOU.
AND EVERY
CONTRIBUTION REALLY
HELPS. WE'RE ASKING

IMPORTANT PIECE OF ALL
THIS. >> YEAH.
I DON'T
THINK THAT

ACROSS IN THE
BEAUTY OF THE SHOW, BUT WE

TIME AS A TEAM.

STARTING WITH UNANIMOUS SYVMENT
SHE'S GREAT. >> SHE
W AS A
MENTOR TO
ME AS
LL.WORKING WITH
HER ON
THESE WAS
ALSO VERY FUN
AND VERY
MEANINGFUL. >> YEAH. ONE OF
THE THINGS
I LOVE
MOS T
ABOUT LORI IS
THAT SHE
IS A COMPLETE
STRAIGHT SHOOTER.
AND YOU
CAN TELL
THAT IN
THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE
DONE BECAUSE YOU DON'T
GET THE
KIND OF
INTEGRITY, THE KIN
D OF QUALITY
AND COMMITMENT
TO INTEGRITY THAT
YOU GET IN
PROGRAMS LIKE
THIS WITHOUT
SOMEBODY WHO
CARES ABOUT
EVERY PIECE OF IT
AND HOW
IT ALL
COMES TOGETHER. I
FEEL REALLY
LUCKY TO HAVE
RKED WITH
HER. SOUNDS
LIKE YOU
DO, TOO. >>
YEAH. >>
LORI, I
HOPE THAT
YOU'RE WATCHING AND I WANT
TO THANK YOU
FOR THE
WONDERFUL WORK
YOU'VE DONE
