NParks marks three decades of environmental commitment with new programs and initiatives at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
Singapore, 25 November 2023 – The National Parks Board (NParks) commemorates 30 years of community stewardship and conservation at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, announcing an exciting lineup of volunteer-led programs and activities across the Sungei Buloh Nature Park Network. The celebrations include specially curated programs at the reconstructed Cashin House, featuring guided tours and nature photography, starting progressively this year.
As part of the festivities, NParks unveiled a new lookout platform at the Wetland Reserve, converted from the former Main Bridge. This addition, suggested by the community, enhances opportunities for nature appreciation, offering a prime vantage point to observe wildlife in their natural habitat, particularly overlooking Sungei Buloh Besar.
Minister for National Development and Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration, Mr. Desmond Lee, joined Friends of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, volunteers, and corporate partners to celebrate the anniversary at the Wetland Reserve today. In acknowledgment of the strong community support, NParks dedicated five Heritage Trees to donors who contributed to Singapore’s greening efforts through the Garden City Fund.
To engage the public in the celebration, NParks will conduct various community programs and activities across the Sungei Buloh Nature Park Network, emphasizing the importance of community stewardship in transforming Singapore into a City in Nature.
