I moved Back to Phillips,Wi. May 17th 2009 , after liveing down in the south for over 20 years Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee . I worked with Thouroghbred Race Horses , Drove Truck OTR and had my own landscapeing business “Jack of all Trades “.I had moved in with my brother for a number of months after i moved back here and started looking for a job and a place to live , well i found a job and then on 1/1/2010 I found a place to Rent For me and my 2 , 4 legged kids out here on 111 in catawba . There was a stipulation thatr came with the house , It was for sale and the moment i walked into it I had this strange feeling like i never had with anyother home ive lived . Some how Some Way i have got to get this house before anyone else did and with the problem so many others have ,Credit Not being so good I was going to need a miracle . From the moment i found this place and looked around this less than an acre property . I had this Vision of what i wanted to do here and create. I have always treated this place and protected it ,as it was mine even though i was just renting it ,but one day i would , was always in the back of my mind 24/7 and the sooner i could make it happen the better and all my work here would not of been in vain as i watched Potential buyers walking thru my house for 8 years and my heart in my throat . I started adding Plants and doing things here that were benificial to Monarchs and other Wildlife . This site provides milkweeds,nectar sources,and shelter needed to sustain Monarch Butterflies as they migrate through North America. Creating and maintaining a Monarch Waystation and contributing to monarch conservation, an effort that will help assure the preservation of the species and the continuation of the spectacular Monarch migration phenomenon and Creating a Safe and positive place for nature and the Environment. Making areas of Shelter, Water, Food, Cover, Places to raise young, and Sustainability practices. Being an over the road Trucker Thru the years left little time to be able to work on this project of mine only being home For a couple of days at a time thru to Sept.25th 2015 is when I came off the road and allowed me more time to work on my other...Expand for more
passion , being my property a Sanctuary for Wildlife and bigger things to come thru it. I got a job at United Pride Dairy Oct,15,2015 about 4 weeks after I came off the road and I'm still employed there while I work on my goals and future of MWWR Monarch Wildlife Wayside Refuge . I eventually got this place certified 3/31/17 as an officail Monarch Habitat thru Monarch Watch. org and Waystation and 4/10/17 it finally became a Certified Wildlife Habitat thru the National Wildlife Federation and I'm also a Pesticide Free Zone Thru pesticidefreezone.org. All my dedication and love for Wildlife and the Enviroment had finally paid off so to say and reached 2 of my goals. One of my Other Goals was reached also ,it was to buy this house before someone else did and 8 years later going thru what I had been watching people come thru my house and stressing out and wondering if they were going to buy it or not “ Hopefully Not “ ,finally that opportunity, day before my 60th Birthday came true . Someone did buy my house and took a chance on me and gave me the opportunity to buy my house and now everything that I have worked so hard on here will not of been in vain because of this one special person That came into my life and gave me a brighter outlook on my life No one has ever done for me what that person has done and for that i owe that person everything I don't think that person will ever know how happy they have made me . The next Goal of mine and has always been an ongoing goal is to get funded or be able to raise enough money to Buy 20 plus acres of land close by to where I live as an extension of what im doing here for Wildlife at MWWR.A much bigger place to be able to better meet the needs of all Wildlife and Endangered Species , as i am very passionate when it comes to any Wildlife but in regards to Endangered Species Plants and animals also i am the same if not more and id like that place to be an educational place for the Community and Public other Wildlife Lovers / Enthusiasts getting more people involved . I have been Benifiting Wildlife and the Enviroment since 1/1/2010 here at MWWR ,but have supported both and have done my best to support both all my life and Standing up and voiceing my oppinions and love for Wildlife and the Enviroment and by haveing more land , i will be able to do more for both .I support Wolves World Wide and the Science of Wolves and the ESA also ...
