The weekly island beautification schedule of the Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps rolled through two villages after Ordot-Chalan Pago Mayor Jesse Gogue welcomed the group of volunteers at the event meeting space in Mangilao. 
 
Gogue noted the importance of supporting each other on the village level and sharing resources for the benefit of the entire island.  
 
The cleanup group consisted of members of the G3CC, community members and the Ordot-Chalan Pago Mayor’s office staff. 
 
Collectively the group picked up 6 large bags of trash, about 20 white good items, and 1 large bag of aluminum cans that will be recycled and diverted from the landfill.
 
The Corps leads weekly events geared towards the beautification of our island including trash cleanups, painting projects, and more.

Vice-Speaker of the 36th Guam Legislature Tina Muña Barnes welcomed and thanked supporters for taking the time out of their weekend to help our island. 

She said that taking care of our island is a job we all must do and noted how grateful she was for the community support for the matter.

G3CC works with WERI

Guam Green Growth Conservation Corps works with WERI

Our G3 Conservation Corps, UOG Center for Island Sustainability, and UOG Sea Grant teams were with WERI at Mt. Alutom!
 
WERI is the Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific based out of the University of Guam. Dr. John Jenson presented to the team about the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer (NGLA) and its importance as it provides drinking water to 80% of Guam’s population.
 
Mt. Alutom provides a great introduction to the characteristics of rock units and other natural features that determine where and how water is captured, stored, and transmitted in the NGLA.
 
The team helped clear the area to prepare the site for educational tours and will be back with WERI to learn more!

Gallery: G3CC at the Valley of the Latte Farms

Our G3 Conservation Corps was at Valley of the Latte Farms last week!
 
The Corps was hard at work preparing and putting up approximately 700 feet of chain link fence, clearing about 1,500 feet of the path along the fences, among other activities. The fencing will help keep the food crops safe from balåku (wild boar).
 
Some parts of the week were spent sorting recycling bins with Peggy Denney of i*recycle and assisting the Southern Soil & Water Conservation District with prepping for a tree-planting event in Inalåhan.
 
Si Yu’os ma’åse to Dave Tydingco and Benhart at Valley of the Latte Adventure Park Guam for hosting G3CC!
