The transportation will be provided by CNMI Division of Environmental Quality.
The task force has been having a meeting since yesterday at the Saipan World Resort.
This tour, according to NRCS, is to give the task force an opportunity to explore the site of Kagman watershed project. It will begin with a visit to Tank Beach at the bottom where the NRCS will view and discuss the environmental benefits of the watershed projects for marine habitat.
The group will proceed to the Education Island wetlands area for wildlife viewing where discussion will continue about efforts made to restore native wildlife habitat for the endangered Common Moorhen and Nightingale Reed Warbler.
The tour continues with brief visits to constructed sediment basins, waterways, Kagman quarry, and 100,000 gallon water tank.
The NRCS project engineer will give a brief description of the engineering components and describe the overall conservation value. The tour finishes at the Laolao Bay uplands where participants will have an opportunity to plant some trees and shrubs in the active re-vegetation area.
