Guided Nature Walks

In this workshop, children will learn about:

- Local Biodiversity in Singapore
- Basic plant and animal identification
- The sounds and textures of nature
- How to respect and protect natural spaces

Please note:

While our biodiversity guided walks aim to explore the rich ecosystems and diverse wildlife in natural habitats, sightings of specific animals are not guaranteed. Wildlife visibility depends on various factors, including weather, time of day, and animal behavior. Our focus is to provide an immersive and educational experience, highlighting the importance of conserving natural habitats and understanding biodiversity as a whole. We appreciate your understanding that the unpredictability of nature is part of its beauty, and we look forward to sharing valuable insights into these ecosystems with you.
