 Special
activities were organised during the last migratory season to welcome our
feathered friends from afar. BirdWatch 1996 (17 November - 1 December 1996)
was one such event to promote birdwatching among Singaporeans. Free guided
tours were available for the first 100 visitors signing up for each 0900h
and 1500h session each day during the period. Groups of 20 or less were
brought around Route 1 by volunteers and staff, with one telescope per group,
to watch waders on the scope. Four telescopes, with volunteers manning them,
were set up at the main hide for visitors who could not make the guided
walks or who preferred to go around on their own. The event was a great success as all involved, visitors, volunteers and staff, enjoyed the walks tremendously. The opportunities for the sharing of experiences had also helped promote environmental awareness and nature appreciation as the wonders of migration filled us with awe. In view of the success and the good response we have had of the BirdWatch 1996 event, the Park will be organising BirdWatch as an annual event for the years to come. So do watch out for BirdWatch 1997. When? November. |
