Kids dig deep, plant roots in Lents restoration project

Ed Kearns of the Lents Springwater Corridor habitat restoration project used grant funds to plant 6,000 native trees and shrubs along a quarter-mile stretch of the Springwater Corridor with the help of hundreds of local youth and adult volunteers. To date, 300 cubic yards of concrete, gravel and asphalt have been removed and recycled from the former lumber mill site in outer Southeast Portland.
