“Pigeon Creek is past saving. Maybe you should just forget it.” That is what the students of Jackson Elementary School 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, in this lively and inspiring account, to clean up a nearby stream, stock it with salmon, and preserve it as an unpolluted place where the salmon could return to spawn.
