What: When botanist and writer Susan J Tweit and her late husband bought a half-block of blighted industrial property bordering a channelized creek at the edge of downtown Salida, Tweit had no idea that she would spend the next two decades restoring a block of that creek and the adjacent land. Nor that her accidental ecological restoration project would change her life and help revitalize their down-at-the-heels neighborhood. Her story demonstrates the power of restoring native plants and removing invasive species to heal not only our landscapes, but also our communities.
