Pamela Slaughter is the founder and executive director of People of Color Outdoors, a Portland, Oregon nonprofit dedicated to building connection, belonging, and environmental leadership. She is an environmental educator, public speaker, and author, whose work uses place-based storytelling to help people slow down, notice the natural world, and reconnect with land, history, and community.

Tucked between rivers, rail lines, and industry, Smith and Bybee Wetlands is one of the largest urban freshwater wetlands in the United States. Once treated as a dumping ground, this living landscape has been restored through patience, persistence, and respect for water's natural rhythms. Positioned along the Pacific Flyway, the wetlands now shelter migrating birds, turtles, and countless forms of life.

This book invites readers to slow down, observe seasonal changes, and reflect on a powerful truth: damaged places can heal.
