 Once
again, Sungei Buloh Nature Park joined hands with Timberland for a second
round of fund-raising for the Park's conservation and education efforts.
For the first time, Sungei Buloh Nature Park reached out to the Public at
the heart of the Lion City, Orchard Road. In conjunction with the Earth Day celebration, an Earth Day booth was set up at Ngee Ann City from 25 March to 9 April 1998 and at Centrepoint Shopping Centre from the 10 April till 22 April (Earth Day itself). The Earth Day items namely T-shirts, mugs & cactus plants were sold to the public and the proceeds collected went to the Park. There were also many kind donations made by members of the public. On 19 April 1998, a group of 80 less-privileged kids and the staff of Timberland were brought on a Mangrove Ramble by Park staff and volunteers. It was a rewarding experience for both the guides and the children as they learnt more about the inhabitants of the mangrove swamp. As this project wraps up, we would like to thank Timberland and the public for their generous contributions towards nature conservation. For more background about Earth Day celebrations. |
