Being strong supporters of nature conservation, volunteers play a paramount
role as nature advocates. The rewards that are reaped from their efforts
are bountiful.
| Volunteers? You would probably associate these people
to meaningful work like spending time with old folks, giving tuition
to under-privileged kids or helping out at a special school. Volunteers
at Sungei Buloh Nature Park, on the other hand, contribute in a totally
different aspect. What do they do? |

Building
rapport
among volunteers |
They share the joy of observing and learning about nature
by conducting guided walks for the public on Saturdays and Sundays;
run programmes and activities organised by the Park; connect volunteers
through creating a volunteer corner on the Park's website; share their
knowledge and expertise by conducting training for other volunteers;
make the Park an even more interesting and exciting place by brainstorming
for creative ideas; share their captured beauty of nature by contributing
photographs; share their thoughts on nature by contributing articles;
and assist in our study of this unique habitat by participating in
the Park's research work. |
Sungei Buloh Nature Park, certainly needs dedicated people like our volunteers
to keep it growing. Their efforts are much appreciated by the mangroves,
the wildlife and of course, the staff of Sungei Buloh. We all have the same
goal, which is to pass on Sungei Buloh as it is to the future generation,
so let's continue to work towards that! Let our love for the Park continue
to flourish. Bravo to all! |
