When you look around this area you'll see horses and cattle and blueberry fields. On the edge of the horse corral you'll encounter a mason bee box. Mason bees generally don’t sting (the males don’t sting and the females rarely do and only under extreme duress). They are efficient pollinators in the garden and orchard, and they are even considered to be more efficient than honey bees. Mason bees most often nest in wood, using holes created by other insects and birds or even old nails. What will you find in the bee box here?

The Wild Rivers Coast Food Trail is a collaborative effort to connect locals and visitors to the bounty available on Oregon’s South Coast. Supporting local food is a way to support our communities and the producers & crafters that work hard to grow and use our local ingredients.
Live Culture Coast is a sensory celebration of creativity, exploration set along the edge of the continent amidst the wilds and wonders of the Southern Oregon Coast. Running from Reedsport to Brookings, the Southern Oregon Coast landscapes are dramatic, literally breathtaking.
Live Culture Coast grew from a desire to explore the energetic possibilities of different ecosystems, ideas, microbes, stories, and people coming together. People and community. Locals and travelers. Microorganisms and food. Landscapes and creativity. By joining the people of Live Culture Coast, you yourself are an active starter for a beautiful place in the process of becoming. Geocaching got its start in Oregon in 2000, yet more proof that Oregon has an active starter culture. We hope you will join us to explore the edges.
