| Dates:
10 & 24 Feb 2007 (Saturdays) Time: 2.30pm (Duration: 2 hour walk) Meeting Place: Sentosa's Ferry Terminal (seafront side) Synopsis: The walk provides a unique opportunity for Singaporeans to experience firsthand a forest soon to be felled and to take a hard look at our own value system for the environment. If a wager were to be made for hard choices (for the economy), why chose a living forest over a golf course at the gambling table? Both, as you will see, are just a stone's throw from each other in Sentosa. (see map) |

If you have seen "An Inconvenient Truth" (and think it is really great), or have cause to complain about the haze or the heat at one time or another, this walk is for you. It is the real stuff in your own backyard.
Keynote Message: Build the IR but Spare the Green Lung.
Walk is suitable for ALL: parents with kids (and babystrollers), young and old, etc. Teachers and nature volunteers are greatly encouraged to come.
Registration required: The walks are FREE of charge. Please email Joseph Lai.
