In the end, we will conserve only what we love
We will love only what we understand
We will understand only what we are taught

Baba Dioum

With this philosophy in mind, we aim to inform and educate the visitors about the wildlife in the Park so that one will learn to appreciate and understand the value of our natural heritage. The themes reflect the various habitats found within the Park and enable a systematic classification of common flora and fauna in the Park.

Hands-on activities allow one to find out more about the flora and fauna of the Park. Four Activity Stations were set up along route 1, hides 1 B, 1 C, 1 D and 1 E. The Activity Stations showcase the various habitats of the Park with themes of Mangroves, Mudflats, Freshwater Pond and Secondary Forest. Realistic murals create the scene and the mood of the various habitats the hides depict. Visitors would be viewing the habitats from the perspective of its inhabitants.

Commencing in January, work on the hides were completed by the beginning of March. Visitors who came during the March vacation and thereafter would be entering the world of the Park's inhabitants and will be finding out about the favourite food of the Atlas Moth caterpillar; where the Changeable Lizard lays its eggs; who eats what in a freshwater pond and much more.

So remember to visit the four hides: 1 B, 1 C, 1 D and 1 E, all along route 1.
