Nature in the City

Over the long Labour Day weekend, a large number of nature lovers gathered at Bugis Junction, surprising many shoppers.

The Nature Society of Singapore was in full force organising the event "Nature in the City" in conjunction with Nature Day. The objective was to create nature awareness in this highly urbanised environment.

The Sungei Buloh Nature Park; along with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Singapore Environment Council, SAVE Club of the Singapore American School, were invited to participate in this event.

Sungei Buloh's "The Living Classroom" theme attracted many shoppers and nature lovers alike. You could see our volunteers tirelessly reaching out to people with brochures introducing our flora and fauna. Many freebies, such as issues of the "Wetlands" newsletter, brochures, posters, bookmarks and calendars, were handed out. Interesting upcoming activities were also highlighted.

Thanks to the Nature Society of Singapore for their invitation and Sungei Buloh volunteers who had contributed selflessly to this cause. Through this event, we managed to reach out to many city dwellers who would otherwise not know about the Park.
