Olympia Ecosystems We are driven by our understanding of the intrinsic value of all creatures in our ecosystem.

Olympia Ecosystems (OlyEcosystems) is an urban land trust whose focus is the preservation and restoration of key ecosystems in and around the area of Olympia, Washington. We are a growing group of Olympia citizens, businesses and environmental organizations who propose to restore and re-wild the urban shoreline and associated riparian corridors of Budd Inlet and the Deschutes Esturary such that it becomes quality habitat, enabling our region's wildlife to persist and thrive for future generations. We are united in our value of biodiversity and believe that our human community is enriched by and defined by our relationship to the wilderness in our midst.

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.
