SPOT & LOP WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!

On November 17, Travel Southern Oregon Coast along with the Trailkeepers of Oregon hosted a Spot & Lop Mushroom Identification Walk and Trail Maintenance. The free event was promoted through fliers, word of mouth, and social media. Some highlights included 2 people traveling all the way from Vancouver, Washington to join the fun, half a dozen people stayed after the event to help continue trail work, and everyone had a great time.

OREGON'S EDGE VIDEO UPDATE

OCVA partnered with OSU productions about a year ago to create a video called "Oregon's Edge", The Creative South Coast. It features:

Jason Younker, Coquille Tribe at the South Slough Reserve
Elizabeth Roberts, Marine Debris Artist
Dave Lacey, South Coast Tours
Tom Calvanese, Port Orford Field Station, Oregon Kelp Alliance

The exciting update is that this film will run at the Hollywood Theatre at the Portland International Airport for approximately one year. This is a great opportunity to share stories from the south coast with the Portland International Airport’s 16 million annual visitors.
