About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Pigeon Creek is past saving. Maybe you should just forget it." That's what the students of Jackson in Everett, Washington heard when they set out to reclaim a nearby stream that had once been a spawning ground for salmon. Undaunted, the children set to work--and this lively and inspiring account, featuring more than forty full-color photographs, tells how they worked a small but important ecological miracle.
