The September newsletter announces an October 17 volunteer work party at Cooper Crest Forest to install protective wire cages around young cedar trees, while also celebrating recent invasive-species removal at West Bay Woods and seasonal birdwatching opportunities across OlyEcosystems preserves. It introduces R. Brent Lyles as OlyEcosystems’ first Executive Director, who will focus on long-term stewardship, fundraising, and organizational sustainability. Daniel Einstein reflects on recovering from urgent heart surgery, expresses gratitude for the community that supported him, and renews his commitment to conservation, shared care, and the changing landscapes of the South Sound.
