First documented after the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption when a Guardian encountered a family of bat-winged hominids fleeing the devastation, the Batsquatch Steward tradition began as an emergency response but evolved into a permanent role within the Wildwood Guardians. These specialized protectors have developed unique tracking and observation techniques specifically for monitoring the nocturnal, airborne cryptids that nest in the tallest trees of the ancient forest, creating a vital bridge between the ground-dwelling and aerial guardians of the ecosystem.

Batsquatch Stewards possess exceptional night vision and acute hearing, honed through years of nocturnal tracking and observation of their elusive charges. They utilize specialized climbing equipment crafted from sustainable materials that allow them to ascend to the highest canopy levels without damaging the ancient trees. Each Steward carries a handcrafted cedar whistle that produces ultrasonic frequencies only detectable by Batsquatch, enabling communication across vast distances without alerting hunters or researchers to their presence.

Batsquatch Stewards maintain the delicate balance between human activity and the nocturnal aerial cryptids of the Pacific Northwest, creating protected nesting zones and diverting curious hikers from sensitive areas through subtle manipulation of trail markers and forest signs.
