University of Guam and Guam Department of Agriculture Launch GROW Corps Program
What happened
The second cohort of the University of Guam’s Guam Green Growth (G3) GROW Corps began on October 17, 2026. Six participants started a six-month training path in watershed restoration and forestry. The program, supported by the Guam Department of Agriculture, teaches skills such as reforestation, firebreak maintenance, and forest data collection. This initiative aims to build a skilled local workforce to advance the island’s green economy.

Why it matters
The program aims to advance Guam’s green economy by restoring native forests in the Ugum watershed. This restoration effort reduces soil and sediment runoff that can harm the island’s coral reefs. The training is designed to create a skilled local workforce for environmental and forestry work.
The University of Guam contributes to local workforce development goals in Guam.
