This project is proposing to pilot several demonstration plots/areas in several communities adjacent to the round-island road which is currently under construction but causing much soil erosion problems for the communities. The Grantee will assist some communities to demonstrate methods to addess the erosion issue through use of local plants. Awareness activities through video and other media will be used to highlight these demonstrations. Furthermore, the Grantee is working with the Office of the President to designate Arbor (tree planting) day for the whole nation. Direct suppoort will be provided to the existing nurseries that are also located around the island of Babeldaob.
