Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – Hiking cum talk

In line with the club’s objective to go green, our resident “geologist”, PDRR Zakir conducted a short talk on the importance of conservation of our nature reserves in Singapore. The day started with a morning hike at 9 am with members: Huiying, Wahid, Ben and Zakir.

After enduring the long and grueling hike, the members were joined by President Keyuan and Service to New Generation Director, PP (Rtn) Tay for the conservation talk. During the talk, PDRR Zakir introduced the history of the nature reserve and its development for the past 40 years after Singapore independence. They also got a glimpse of the dangers and consequences of the fast growing urban “jungle” that had an effect on the flora and fauna of the nature reserve.

I hope the participants had taken back new knowledge of the importance of the nature reserve.
