20 Jan (Sun): Punggol Grassland Ramble

For Nature Society (Singapore) members only.

By the Nature Ramblers led by Ho Wah Loong. The development of Punggol into a vibrant HDB estate withwaterfront recreational facilities and a canal joining Punggol and Serangoon Rivers was featured in the news lately. Work has already started near the old Punggol Port Road. Construction of a barrage across the mouth of the two rivers has also started. The 8km ramble will take a look at the fast disappearing grasslands from the mouth of Punggol River to Serangoon River. Bring a hat/cap and sunglass. Ramble will end at Punggol Drive. No booking is required.
