The Core Motivation
Why We Do It.
Because the woods hold secrets that deserve to be understood, not feared. We believe that acknowledging the unknown preserves the raw magic of the Pacific Northwest.
For generations, locals have experienced things in these woods that defy conventional explanation. We do this to honor the stories of those who came before us—the seasoned "Pappies" of the valley who saw what others wouldn't, and who taught us to respect the forest.
We aren't just looking for a creature; we are preserving a heritage. We are here to bring scientific rigor to local legend, and to prove that sometimes, looking closer reveals a much bigger world.
