Free green tours draw the crowd


ST02112013-1330569738 / Seah Kwang Peng/ cknature03/ (right, with binoculars) Tan Swee Kwang, 52 (Senior Manager of NParks Streetscape division) brings 24 participants on a tour of the Nature Way at Yishun Avenue 4, where roadside trees and shrubs are planted to help animals such as birds and butterflies move from one green area to another. Organized in conjunction with the Clean and Green Singapore (CGS) 2014 campaign, the free tours are held on 2 and 3 November in Yishun and Tampines respectively.

LIKE most people, full-time national serviceman John Tan used to pay little attention to the trees and shrubs when he walked by the gardens and parks in his neighbourhood.

But he learnt yesterday during a guided tour of the Yishun Nature Way that certain plants are grown in various green corridors for a reason.
