11 Apr (Sat): Mandai Forest Ramble
For Nature Society (Singapore) members only
With the announcement of Jurong Bird Park moving to a proposed location in Mandai, Mandai forest is under imminent threat of development. Led by P. Pandian, we will explore this rich, green and little-known area to enjoy a myriad of birds, trees, plants, mammals and insects. This 11-km walk will take approximately six hours through a stretch of forest linked by jogging paths, biking trails, undulating tracks, fruit orchards, rubber plantations and former kampong grounds. Do bring along your binoculars, camera, rain gear, water, snacks and wear sturdy shoes.
The ramble will end at the MOE Diary Farm Adventure Centre on Dairy Farm Road.

11 Apr (Sat): A walk with your neighbours - the macaques of Macritchie
The long-tailed macaques are the most conspicuous animals at Macritchie Reservoir Park. Although commonly seen, they are very misunderstood. Few seeing them realise anything about the social world these monkeys live in. They have kin networks, power struggles, friends, foes, and an otherwise complex social network. In many ways, they provide a mirror of our own sociality.
Suitable for adults and children above 8 years.
Register at sg.monkey.walk@gmail.com, at least 3 days in advance. Do provide us with your preferred date, name, contact number (in case of cancellation, we will contact you), number of adult and children participants (at most, 5 participants per registration). Upon receiving your registration, we will reply with a confirmation email. The walk will be cancelled if there is bad weather 45 minutes before the walk.
Time: 5-6.30pm
