Family and Adventure walks at Sentosa's shores

[slaam]

Dear friends, The Naked Hermit Crabs have put together a shore walk at
Sentosa for kids and the family during the June holidays.

We are inviting beachfleas first!
(Please don't forward this invitation to other mailing lists)

This is because it's our first time trying out the walks. We are
hoping to launch with friendly people whom we already know :-)

Do come explore Sentosa's splendid natural shore with us! Bring the
kids, the whole family!

Pls sign up by 25 May (Fri) so we can finalise details

MORE nature activities at Sentosa
---------------------------------
Following our shores walks, other exciting Sentosa kids' nature
activities are scheduled on the same day.

Learn about the Sentosa coastal forest that might have to make way for
the IR; or enjoy a picnic under a fig tree. More details below...

Spend the day at Sentosa with the family and discover Nature's IR!

Hope to see you then!

Who are the Naked Hermit Crabs?

We are a motley bunch of volunteer guides who also guide at
Singapore's other shores such as Chek Jawa, Pulau Semakau, Kusu
Island. We have come together to share our other shores through public
walks. Especially those shores which are in danger.

What will we see and do during the walks?

5 Jun (Tue): Fun at Sentosa's Coastal Forest
--------------------------------------------
with Joseph Lai and the Nature Society Education Group.

Come celebrate World Environment Day at Sentosa's northern coastal
forest, one of the last of its kind in Singapore!

Stroll with us in the cool shade of its enormous trees, like the rare
Dracaena maingayi. And if you have never seen a seashore mangosteen
tree or mousedeer plant, you'll find them here!

If you're lucky, you may even spot a Buffy Fish Owl (Ketupa ketupu),
the rarest of resident owls in Singapore. Other attractive birds that
call this forest home are the Blue-winged Leafbird, Stork-billed
Kingfisher and Hill Myna.

Sad to say, this forest may have to make way for the development of
the Sentosa Integrated Resort.

Come explore it and help us convince Singapore that this forest should
live!

This event is suitable for kids aged 5 to 9. You will need good
walking shoes, light cotton clothing, water, a snack, and herbal
insect repellent.

Registration is required. E-mail Vilma at vilma.drozario@nie.edu.sg

Time: 10.30am, meet at Imbiah Station on Sentosa at 10.30am.
(Tip: Park at Vivocity and take the train to Imbiah Station.)
