The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Pacific Southwest Regional Meeting kicked off its weeklong event with pre-meeting activities and a press conference to welcome visiting attendees from off island. Your local Soil and Water Conservation Districts are excited to meet with our Southwest counterparts, local and federal partners, and Guam’s farming and agriculture community at this event! This is also a special occasion, because it is the first time in NACD history that a region meeting was held on our beautiful island.

: Rooted in Stewardship🤝🪴

We’re looking back at a meaningful tree planting effort that reflects this year’s theme: “Soil – Where It All Begins” (I Edda. Guini Todu i Tinituhon).

Held at the Yona/Talo’fo’fo Senior Center, this event was made possible through the collaboration of .forestry in celebration of Arbor Month.

Partners including Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency, Guam Fire Department, and USDA APHIS came together in support of caring for our land—alongside our manåmko’, whose presence reminds us that stewardship connects generations.

Healthy soil is the foundation of thriving ecosystems. Through tree planting, we help protect our soil from erosion, enrich it with organic matter, and support a stronger, more resilient environment for future generations.

Si yu’os ma’åse’ to all who continue to support stewardship in our community.🌿🌎

Biba Stewardship Week!

🌱Stewardship Spotlight

Join us in celebrating 2026 Soil and Water Stewardship Week (April 26 – May 3, 2026)!

This year’s theme, “Soil. Where It All Begins,” highlights the essential role soil plays in sustaining life—supporting our food systems 🌾, protecting water quality 💧, nurturing ecosystems 🐝, and building resilient communities 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽. From forests and farms to urban green spaces, everything depends on healthy soil.

Public Service Announcement featuring Christianah Oladoye, University of Guam Assistant Professor of Soil Fertility & Plant Nutrition.

“Soil is important because it is the foundation of everything that we need. Our crop is dependent on it and the quality of the food that we get from the soil is going to have a lot of impact on our health.”
- Christianah Oladoye
