4 No 1 Apr 97 Breeding Birds at Sungei Buloh BirdWatch 96 Luncheon Meet for Volunteers The Nesting Herons of Sungei Buloh Volunteering at the Park Activity Stations at Sungei Buloh |
The volunteers had to go through a day of training at the Park before undertaking the responsibilities of being volunteer guides. During the two weeks, the trained guides brought groups of 20 visitors around Route 1 to help them learn more about migration and migratory birds. They also took turns to station themselves at the main hide to assist visitors to see and identify migratory birds. A luncheon was held on 14 December 1996, in recognition of the time and effort these had a volunteers had contributed in support of the Park's programme. The buffet lunch cum recognition ceremony was graced by Mr S.K. Ganesan, Senior Manager from the National Parks Board and Dr Wong Hon Mun, Executive Director from Jurong Birdpark. The volunteers were treated to a buffet spread of Muslim food before Mr Ganesan delivered a word of thanks and presented certificates of appreciation to the volunteers. The luncheon meeting had created a conducive environment for the volunteers to interact among themselves, and with the staff of the Park, in the midst of savouring the delicious spread and the merry making. We had decided to make it an annual event. The visitors whom the volunteers had brought around benefited greatly from the expertise and enthusiasm of these nature lovers. Cheers to the volunteers who made our programme a success! |
