The Robin­son Foundation’s pri­mary mis­sion is to sup­port Howard County Depart­ment of Recre­ation and Park’s new Robin­son Nature Cen­ter. The mis­sion of the Robin­son Nature Cen­ter is to bring peo­ple together with nature, to learn, to expe­ri­ence nature and the envi­ron­ment around them, and to pro­mote an ethic of stew­ard­ship of the land.

The Foun­da­tion also spon­sors a wide range of envi­ron­men­tal events and sup­ports ini­tia­tives of other envi­ron­men­tal, edu­ca­tional, and com­mu­nity groups that share our com­mit­ment to con­nect­ing peo­ple with the outdoors.

ACTIVITIES

In addi­tion to build­ing a Friends group for the Robin­son Nature Cen­ter, the Foun­da­tion also:

• Sup­ports com­mu­nity and non-profit ini­tia­tives that are in keep­ing with the Foundation’s mission.
• Rec­og­nizes com­mu­nity and edu­ca­tional lead­er­ship through the Green Foot Print Awards Pro­gram.  This award is given to an indi­vid­ual or orga­ni­za­tion that has demon­strated a com­mit­ment to pre­serv­ing the nat­ural environment.
