Pasir Ris Park Mangrove Boardwalk
Venue: Pasir Ris ParkDate & time: Sat, 28 Aug 2010, 3pm - 5.30pm
Cost: Free, all are welcome!
VSS’s next outdoor adventure will be a stroll along the boardwalk at
Pasir Ris Park. The stroll will take us through a mangrove habitat, with the resident flora and fauna well-explained by Nparks’ signage.
Even better, guiding us will be Andrew Tay, who is amazingly knowledgeable about nature - maybe that’s one of the reasons why he’s vegan – and loves sharing from his treasure trove of knowledge.
With a bit of luck we’ll see mudskippers, crabs, mud lobsters, lots and lots of mangrove trees and much more. We’ll also visit the well-designed herb and spice garden patch in the park. (Learn More about Pasir Ris Park here.)
