Windows in Time: "Stories of Southern Oregon Heritage Trees"

“Stories of Southern Oregon Heritage Trees”   

Medford, Oregon (June 17, 2022)—Nancy Appling will present the Windows in Time lecture “Stories of Southern Oregon Heritage Trees” on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 from 12 Noon–1:00 p.m. at the Medford Library, 205 South Central Avenue, and online via the Zoom video conferencing app. All are welcome to attend this free lecture; registration is required. 

From Eve's apple tree to Tolkien’s grumpy Ents, trees have always captured our imaginations. Join Nancy Appling to learn about Southern Oregon’s trees, like the Hanley Willow, the Britt Sequoia, the McCall Magnolia, and the Beall Black Walnut. 

For seven years, Nancy Appling lectured for the Oregon Council for the Humanities and talked about trees in every Oregon county. During that tenure, Nancy joined the Oregon Heritage Tree Program, where she continues to serve as the Southern Oregon representative, now in her twentieth year.
