Charlie Bartsch was loved by many around the world, and that included the community of Yachats. View the Future, a local environmental nonprofit that Charlie served on for nearly 9 years, has created a memorial in a grove of trees that Charlie helped plant. This video is beautifully created by Shelly Shrock, board member. Other board members and members of the Yachats Trails crew along with the special help of Doug Sestrich, OPRD were able to get the rock lifted, moved, and positioned in place. A plaque is being created now to place on the rock. We love and miss you, Charlie. (Text by Joanne Kittel).
