Bird Strikes #1

Experts estimate up to a billion songbirds die during their annual migrations through North America. It is an enormous problem in bird conservation and it may have simple solutions. The Wisconsin Humane Society, based in Milwaukee, is on a mission to reduce the number of window collisions.


Ice Age Trail: Janesville

Travel across any part of Wisconsin and chances are you'll crossover the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. We've asked our In Wisconsin videographers to showcase different features along this unique trail. This week, we take you to a very urban section of the trail as seen through the lens of videographer Mike Eicher in Janesville.


Meyers Falls

Enjoy the rich, beautiful autumn hues near this breathtaking waterfall.


Traveling Rural Clinic

Since farming is a job 24/7, it can be difficult for farmers to break away from their work to drive - sometimes long distances - to a health clinic. Enter an innovative and now award winning program that brings health information and resources directly to farmers.


Wisconsin First Flight

100 Years ago Arthur Pratt Warner brought Wisconsin into the age of aviation. On November 4, 1909 he flew his Warner Curtiss aircraft from the Morgan Farm in Beloit, Wisconsin. Though he had only intended to taxi the aircraft, he "unexpectedly" took to the air. The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame (WAHF) is wrapping up a year long celebration around the Centennial of Flight. EAA Chapter 60 of Beloit, WI has agreed to build a 1/4 scale replica of the Warner-Curtis aircraft.
