Summary
In Fort Worth, a once-neglected lot beside Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary has blossomed into Roots of Hope—a vibrant, 260-foot reading trail complete with seating, native plants, and a little library—designed to boost literacy and community spirit in a neighborhood where just 35% of students read at grade level. Spearheaded by One Safe Place and backed by the U.S. Attorney’s Project Safe Neighborhoods, the space was built through 45+ volunteers, including law enforcement and university groups, turning a former eyesore into a healing, green haven for kids.
