 Are
you interested to bring home a part of the mangrove? A rare
proposition we posed to you, our valued visitors. On 18 April, 30 May and
27 June 1998, visitors were given a chance of a lifetime to spot, collect,
pot and bring home mangrove seedlings from the Park. Many were excited to
be the custodians of these seedlings. After three months, these saplings
will he brought back to the Park to be planted. Finally, a mangrove plant
to call your own. All these were possible but not before our volunteer guides gave the visitors a thorough and essential introduction to the unique assemblage of the mangrove flora and fauna, and the ways to nurture the seedlings. With a better understanding and appreciation of the mangrove ecosystem, visitors were able to recognise the cause of our programme and render us their support by caring for the seedlings. To you who took the extra step to care for the seedlings, we applaud your efforts to help us conserve the mangrove. |
