Restoring Land, Restoring Lives tells the story of the Columbia Children's Arboretum, a small but special green space tucked into Northeast Portland.

Once forgotten and overgrown, this land was transformed over time by middle school students who were guided by a visionary principal and teacher.

This book is about belief, hands-on learning, community care, and the quiet power of nature to heal both land and people. Restoring Land, Restoring Lives invites readers to notice the overlooked places around them, and to imagine what might grow when someone chooses to care.

This book is part of the Urban Wetlands of Portland series, which tells the stories of restored natural places through ecology, history, and care.
