for Nature Society (Singapore) members only
This is the second walk in our mangrove series, after the first in Chek Jawa. Join Gerard Francis and the Plant Group for a stroll along the Mangrove Boardwalk at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (SBWR). Singapore has half of all the mangrove species in the world and many of them can be found at SBWR. Observe their unique adaptations such as air breathing roots and fruits that germinate on the mother plant. By the end of the walk, you should be able to identify at least ten mangrove trees with the help of an identification key hand-out. The mangrove mudflats also teem with mudskippers, tree climbing crabs, migrant shorebirds, Malayan Water Monitors and the occasional crocodile.
Time: 8.30am. Meet at Sungei Buloh Visitor Centre. Take bus service 925 from Kranji MRT station.
