The Robinson Foundation thanks the Howard County Library for its research support. Interviews with Foundation Board Members about Anne Robinson and the Robinson Nature Center will soon be available at This Is Your Life's webpage.
At the Robinson Foundation, we recognize the importance of understanding the history of the landscape, from both natural and human perspectives, as we strive to protect it.

 

To better understand the land around the Robinson Nature Center and the Middle Patuxent Environmental Area, the Foundation sponsors archaeological studies of the interactions between local Native Americans, early settlers, and natural resources. The river, soils, trees, wild animals, and humans have long been part of an interdependent community.

 

That interdependence also shaped the Robinsons' life by the Middle Patuxent River and throughout their lives. To gain clues to James's and Anne's outdoor interests and values, we have funded research into their family backgrounds and personal histories. We hope that their various connections to southern Maryland's tobacco culture, Baltimore's parks, Howard County charities, and other places and people will lead to more relationships that help us understand and protect their land by Cedar Lane and beyond.
