About the event

WVHPG Educational Speaker Program Tuesday, 12 May 2026
Join us on Tuesday, 12 May 2026 at 7:00 pm in the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene, 1685 W 13th Ave, Eugene OR 97402, to listen to Dave Hedberg, Outdoor History Consulting. He will be presenting "Heritage Trees in Oregon History".

Oregon has a rich history connected to its trees. Dave Hedberg specializes in tracing the history of Oregon through its storied trees and bringing this history to light. From ancient Oak and Pine forests to rare botanical specimens, Oregon’s history can be found in living trees across the state. Dave will share some of his research and a short film about Heritage Trees in Oregon History.

Dave Hedberg has an MA in history from Portland State University and is the owner of Outdoor History Consulting, a small firm specializing in documentary film and public history. He has produced award winning programs and publications for PBS and the National Park Service and is currently a filmmaker in residence with NW Documentary.

Program Location: The in-person meetings and speaker programs take place at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 1685 W 13th Ave, Eugene OR 97402.

Entrance is on the east side of the building and there is ample parking in the parking lots, which can be accessed from both Chambers St or W 13th Ave, with additional parking in the adjacent Looking Glass Center parking lot.
