Seeds give us hope for the future. The Håyun Lågu seeds are shaped like pea pods. There are many efforts underway to save the Håyun Lågu tree species on Guam.

Saplings

Seeds and saplings are grown in a nursery and monitored until they can be put into different places where they can be protected for growth giving them the greatest chance of survival. You can see a sapling at the Ritidian Wildlife Refuge near the nature trail.
