Pasir Ris Park Mangrove
Boardwalk
Venue: Pasir Ris
Park
Date & 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.)
Please remember to wear long pants, bring a refillable
water bottle, a snack, a cap, herbal mozzie repellent and whatever
else will make the stroll enjoyable, such as a camera.
After the walk, if you've packed your food, you can enjoy a picnic
at Pasir Ris Beach. Otherwise, you can visit Yummy Green restaurant
at Downtown East, try the veg dishes offered by many non-veg
eateries at White Sands Mall or travel one MRT stop to visit the
veg stalls near Tampines MRT.
