"Olaf’s son, the third Olaf Hilmer Hedberg (referred to as ‘Hilmer’), was another notable resident of Hobart. He became Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Commissioner and an eminent member of the Animals and Birds Protection Board. A memorial to his work in the development of trout fishing in the State is still visible at the entrance to Salmon Ponds in Plenty.

His most important and lasting achievements, however, were as a member and chairman of the Protection Board. He deplored the killing of penguins on Bruny Island and ensured that the Board’s inspectors and police investigated. He denounced the use of rabbit traps for taking possums, calling the practice “the cruellest method possible”. On his retirement in 1953, Hilmer said he felt it was the duty of all Tasmanians to be interested in saving and preserving the natural life of the State and there was a danger that, unless care was taken, much of the flora and fauna would become extinct. How right he was . . . .

And no species was too humble to earn his respect. After his death a year later, it was recalled that he had willingly surrendered his patch of strawberries to the blackbirds, in order to have their beautiful music near his bedroom window when he wakened in the morning. "
