About The Author
Lois B. Robbins works for land preservation and ecological awareness in North Oakland County, Michigan, through the North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy. In 2003 she founded the Village of Ortonville’s annual CreekFest, a celebration of her town’s trout stream.
Lois is the Recipient of Oakland County, Michigan’s 2009 Heritage Partner award, the 2008 Joe Leonardi Leadership Award from the Flint River Watershed Coalition, and the North Oakland Headwaters Land Conservancy’s 2004 Thomas K. Bullen Achievement Award. A retired adjunct professor from University of Detroit, Lois holds a Masters degree in Religious Studies from Mundelein College in Chicago. Her first book, Waking Up in the Age of Creativity was the basis for the Re-enchantment workshops she led throughout North America during the ’80’s and ‘90’s. Lois lives in rural north Oakland County, Michigan with her two cats, a flock of itinerate wild turkeys, a gang of white tailed deer, a mink, and other back yard wildlife residents. On her small piece of property, designated by the National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat, she practices casual natural landscaping on an as-needed basis. The rest, she leaves to nature to figure out. She has four grown children and five far-flung grandchildren.
