Teo -
With canoes and boats unavailable this year,
"wet ops" became "sweat ops" as the group toiled
with trolleys and wheelbarrows to move some 4
tonnes of trash back to Sungei Buloh Wetlands
Reserve. Consensus was never to do it again
without waterborne transport!

hours at Kranji
- 30 incidental photos by Charith Pelpola and N.
Sivasothi for a glimpse of the organisers. Their
day began at 5.30am and ended at 8.30pm. A good
12 hours was spent at Kranji (7am -
7pm),beginning with the morning safety walk
through the cleanup site and ending when thelast
of the sweat ops crew is stuffed into the rear
of the double cab fro delivery to an MRT station
and home!

Is

worth conserving?
