Military to restore forest to pre-contact period
By Steve Limtiaco
The military plans to restore more than 1,100 acres of limestone forest next to the site of the new Marine Corps base, Camp Blaz, removing invasive plants and animals from the area and adding native and endemic plant species, according to a project memo posted July 9.
Plants introduced to Guam after the first contact with Europeans will be killed and cut down, among other measures.
“The project seeks to restore the natural landscape with culturally important native species that are more representative of prehistoric conditions,” states the Programmatic Agreement Memo for the “North Finegayan and Finegayan Forest Enhancement Site.”

Every week my friend Grazyna and I swim from Malesso’s shoreline halfway towards Dåno’, also known as Cocos Island, and back. We started our weekly swim during the pandemic about 15 months ago and look forward to our swim every week.
Exercising in nature connects oneself with the natural environment and enables us to understand the elements around us, teaching us how species interact with each other. We noticed differences in the strength and direction of the ocean currents, wave heights, frequency of spotted turtles, and enjoyed looking at colorful fish.
