Northern Wisconsin Sasquatch Preserve


Help BAYFIELD REGIONAL CONSERVANCY INC by Sharing


In 2011, the Bayfield Regional Conservancy (BRC) was instrumental in the ground-breaking formation of Frog Bay Tribal National Park, the first tribal nation park in the US, and now is excited to announce the Northern Wisconsin Sasquatch Preserve.


“We were amazed when a generous landowner came forward with this proposal,” said Conservation Director Erika Lang. “He’d been seeing Northern Redhaired Sasquatch on his land at night for years and wanted to protect them and his forested land into the future.”

Dave Phaker has been quietly providing sanctuary to Northern Sasquatch since he bought his land in a remote part of Bayfield County in 1963. “I’d put up a house in ’63 and I noticed right off some interest from the local ‘squatch residents.” For 53 years, Phaker has maintained amiable relations with the local Sasquatch. “I figured if they didn’t bother me, I wouldn’t bother them.”

Northern Redhaired Sasquatch are known for their distinctive ruddy locks. At one time, they ranged from Hudson Bay in Canada to just south of Lake Michigan. Their range and population have dwindled in the last hundred years due to deforestation and land development. Sasquatch are mainly nocturnal and are omnivorous in their feeding habits. They can cover 30 miles a day looking for food. They are generally shy and avoid human habitation.
​
The idea for the Preserve came to Phaker, who celebrated his 90th birthday this winter, when he started having some health issues. “I was in the hospital fer a coupla days and that got me thinking about what would happen to my big, hairy friends when I’m gone.”

Phaker never married and has no close relatives. Deciding what to do with his land has been a difficult problem to solve. Then he read about the Conservancy’s work involved in the formation of Frog Bay Tribal National Park and Lincoln Community Forest and it got him thinking about what he could do to keep his land and its residents safe.

“I got something real special on this land. It’s not just the ‘squatch I’m looking out for,” said Phaker. “I can’t be 100% sure, but I believe I saw a Lake Superior Blue Unicorn visiting two years ago down near the stream. If my property’s good enough for a unicorn and a ‘squatch community then that’s something I gotta save from being developed in the future.”

“We’ve spent quite a bit of time on Mr. Phaker’s property getting ready to protect the preserve and the signs of Sasquatch are everywhere. It’s very exciting!” said Outreach Administrator Jamey Penney-Ritter. “We’ll be stationing trail cam and an intern on the property this summer to track Sasquatch movements. After that, we can set up a trail system so both hikers and Sasquatch can enjoy this beautiful preserve.”

The BRC is currently offering North Wisconsin Sasquatch Preserve t-shirts to help fund its ongoing efforts to protect land in northwestern Wisconsin. To purchase, please go online to www.brcland.org.

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Is Sasquatch a "Missing Link"?

Image
Over the years, many people have speculated about Sasquatch as some kind of missing link in the evolutionary history of human beings. Certainly at first glance this may seem quite plausible considering what most of us were taught in school growing up. However, over the past ten or twenty years there have been many archaeological discoveries, both quite legitimate and quite controversial in their mainstream context. We have learned that Homo sapiens lived alongside numerous other hominid species - even having cross-bred with those such as Neanderthal peoples. The appearance date of what we know as the modern day human is continually being pushed back further and further. And with this, we are not merely talking decades or even centuries. It is now believed in many academic circles that Homo sapiens first appeared more than 300,000 years ago. Take a moment to let that sink in. It's difficult for us to imagine the passing of even 100 years, even as we tend to measure such th...

Something In The Woods

Image
While I have not yet been able to watch this movie, Something In The Woods looks to be a Bigfoot movie worth checking out. At first I was slightly disappointed that it was a PG rating expecting it was going to be a horror movie, but then I came to my senses and realized that this is inspired by a true event in the 60's and that most real world Sasquatch encounters aren't R-rated. They might be scary or frightening but usually nobody gets mauled and skewered on a pine tree. So I reevaluated my stance in approaching this movie and now it seems to me that it may portray a highly realistic characterization of a Bigfoot encounter. With that in mind, here's the synopsis provided on SITW website: "An independent feature film  inspired  by true events. The story follows the Hartman family and their dealings with a legendary creature when it begins coming around their farm house deep in the woods in the late 1960s." According to the IMDb, the inspiration for th...
