Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative

THE PLACE:
The Cascade Head Biosphere Region is a 102,110 acre UNESCO site located on Oregon’s Central Coast. Originally designated in 1976, it was expanded and reauthorized in 2017. It is Oregon’s only such place, one of 28 in the US, and 738 across the globe.

This unique land/sea ecosystem includes the entire Salmon River watershed and estuary, a sandy littoral spit, densely forested uplands, a two-mile long basalt headland covered in native coastal prairie, and a Marine Reserve stretching west into the waters of the Pacific. It also includes the coastal communities of Lincoln City, Neotsu, Otis and their peoples.

OUR VISION:
To be as beautiful and balanced in our humanness, as this extraordinary place.

OUR MISSION:
To foster generations of engaged stewards, where nature has rights, art illuminates science, and research drives climate action.
