Reforestation and Reach Out Project
“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold or silver.” Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve embarked on its “Reforestation and Reach Out” project with the support of our sponsor, Toyota Motor Corporation and five schools. The aim of this project was to involve schools in Singapore in nature conservation. The target group was 10 to 18 year olds. We had a good range of participating schools, namely, the Canadian International School, Chestnut Drive Secondary School, Hillgrove Secondary School, Naval Base Secondary School and Yishun Junior College. As part of the project, the students underwent a series of trainings, which culminated in a big reforestation activity over three days near the Outdoor Classroom. Apart from generating nature awareness among the students, the project enabled the students to share creative and innovative ideas in environmental education and conservation with each other. They were involved in creating and producing educational materials for use at the Outdoor Classroom. The Outdoor Classroom has been refurbished and re-vamped for a brighter and friendlier look. From 1 May 2005, teachers can bring their students there to learn about the different habitats surrounding the Outdoor Classroom, through field studies as well as through using the educational materials and facilities now housed at the Outdoor Classroom. (Please contact 67941401 or e-mail info@sbwr.org.sg to make a booking). We would like to acknowledge Toyota Motor Corporation and our partner schools for their support and collaboration with us in this project.
