18 Dec (Sun): FREE Guided Walk @ Treetop Walk
Herps are reptiles like lizards and snakes, and amphibians like frogs. Let the HSS volunteers introduce you to some delightful and interesting herps in their inaugural walk.
In an effort to promote an awareness of Singapore’s natural and historical heritage, and to promote conversations amongst Singaporeans, the HSS has begun the Herp Walk! We want to raise awareness, in particular, about Herps! These misunderstood creatures are often thought of as scary or unnecessary. But we want to show Singaporeans that Herps are important and integral to the Singaporean ecosystem!
More details on their blog.
The walk is free but registration is required online.
Time: 8am - 12noon
Venue: Successful registrants will be informed of the Meeting Point via email
