 The National Parks DVDs
As a WOSU Public Media supporter, we are offering you the opportunity to support WOSU and reserve a copy of the The National Parks: America's Best Idea 6-DVD set.
No one explores America and its people, history, and culture like Ken Burns. For the past three decades, his documentary films have invited us to look at our collective history, and ourselves, in new, surprising, often delightful and always insightful ways. Each Ken Burns project leaves us better than we were before, with a more profound understanding of who we are as Americans.
That's why Ken Burns' films are shown only on PBS. And only your support of WOSU will ensure that we can continue to bring you his remarkable stories, as well as other stellar programs. Reserve your six-DVD set today!
How does your support of WOSU impact children’s education?
Our Ready To Learn program annually serves more than 8,800 children throughout 11 Ohio counties. Over 100 Ready To Learn workshops are held throughout the year for more than 1,500 parents, childcare providers and other early childhood professionals. The workshops include the distribution of 3,000 books to help children start their personal libraries.
“I look around my day care and I see things I have learned from WOSU…I see the children I care for using those skills and passing them on to their parents and to other children.” – WOSU Viewer and Home Care Provider
