More about Oregon Heritage:  Individuals, organizations and projects that have made outstanding contributions to preserving Oregon heritage over time have received 2009 Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards. The Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards are a project of the Heritage Programs Division of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which includes the Oregon Heritage Commission. Commission chair George Kramer said the awards are intended to draw public attention to important heritage efforts in Oregon and to raise the quality of heritage-oriented activities.

Oregon First Lady Mary Oberst helped present the awards during the recent Northwest History and Heritage Extraganza in Portland. Oregon Heritage Commission coordinator Kyle Jansson said the award recipients were judged on their abilities to produce the most from available resources and skills. Among the recipients is the Lord & Schryver Conservancy, Salem, for preserving and interpreting the legacy of landscape architects Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver.
