 Woodlands
Secondary School officially adopted Sungei Buloh Nature Park's Butterfly
Trail on 1 November 1999. It is a milestone for the adoption programme as
the first school to adopt Sungei Buloh Nature Park.Through the Adopt-A-Park scheme, we hope to build appreciation and respect for Mother Nature by letting these students care for the Butterfly Trail. The teachers and students have happily taken up the challenge to make the trail a success. To prepare them, there were training sessions for the teachers and talks for the students before they commenced their work at the Park.  Pruning,
weeding, pest clearance, fertilising, watering, planting are part and parcel
of the student activities at the Park. Armed with cutters, "changkols",
spades, wheelbarrows, shovels, gloves and trolleys, varieties of butterfly
plants were planted on both sides of the butterfly trail. The myriad colour:
touches of pink, white, orange, yellow, purple, green and red liven up the
trail and provide food for our winged friends. The students will slowly pick up the knowledge on the butterfly and its ecology and develop a sense of ownership towards their piece of "coloured" haven of nature. |
