Wallace B. Grange

Wallace Byron Grange (1905 – 1987) was a conservationist and author in the United States.

He attended Ladysmith High School. He was the first superintendent of game for the Wisconsin Conservation Department and established a game farm in Door County. He then worked for the U.S. Biological Survey, which became the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in Washington D.C.[1]

He married a woman named Hazel, purchased a large property, and restored it. They turned it into a game farm, trapping deer and shipping them to restock areas where they had been depleted.[2] It is now the Sandhill Wildlife Area.[1]

The Wallace Grange Interpretive Trail at the preserve includes signage about his history. He brought bison to the area.[3]
