The University of Guam Sea Grant Program is taking its outreach efforts on the road with the unveiling of its new mobile outreach trailer. The trailer will aid UOG Sea Grant’s education outreach
It started with a group of biology students who arranged free seed exchange stations at the University of Guam science building in December last year.
Xiao Wei, an assistant professor of biology at the University of Guam, asked her students to launch a community outreach project and thought a seed share program would be interesting. But 70 days and hundreds of seeds later, she and the rest of the class are still sharing “pay it forward” seeds.
The first month of the program, before the University of Guam entered Christmas break, Laura Gombar, a senior at the University of Guam and the program manager of the project, saw varieties of peppers, eggplants, lemons, and soursop on the shelves. She didn t keep track of the number of people coming to the seed exchange station.
