A huge congratulations to Dr Jennifer Grenz, Assistant Professor in the Department of Forest Resources Management, for receiving the prestigious Lane Anderson Award for her book, Medicine Wheel for the Planet: A Journey Toward Personal and Ecological Healing. The Lane Anderson Award is an annual award honouring the best non-fiction, science-based Canadian works, recognizing books that deepen public understanding of science and its relevance to contemporary life. Published in 2024, Dr. Grenz’s book received the award in the adult category at a ceremony in Toronto in January. Medicine Wheel for the Planet traces Jennifer’s professional and personal journey as a restoration ecologist, discovering why well-intentioned, science-driven environmental efforts often fall short. Drawing on Indigenous teachings and anecdotal experiences, the part memoir, part manifesto shows a path towards ecological healing as told through the teachings of the Native American sacred symbol: the Medicine Wheel.
