  • The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant has postponed the GROW in Malojloj tree planting event to November 22, 2025, due to expected inclement weather. The event, part of ongoing efforts to restore the Ugum Watershed, focuses on reforestation to prevent soil erosion, protect Guam’s water supply, and preserve coral reef ecosystems. Organizers emphasize volunteer safety and community involvement in supporting sustainable island restoration.
