Join NUS Toddycats and friends to plant carefully selected native forest trees within our Kent Ridge campus

Objectives
NUS is working towards a vision of a Campus in Tropical Rainforest, and NUS Toddycats is helping to restore the green forest spine of the Kent Ridge Campus!

Kent Ridge functions as an important wildlife habitat in the Southern Ridges. With careful selection, planting and maintenance of appropriate species of trees, we aim to enhance the habitat quality and connectivity of our Kent Ridge campus. The habitat enrichment work will overcome natural regeneration barriers such as dispersal limitation and will also be able to extend the forests into the heart of the campus.

Working closely with University Campus Infrastructure (UCI) as we pursue restoration efforts in Kent Ridge Forest, we will be planting a mix of early to late successional native tree species which are suited to ridge habitat. These forest plots will be used to illustrate restoration ecology and the integration of forests into an urban landscape.

This project is part of NUS’ target of planting 100,000 trees on campus by 2030, and will contribute towards Singapore’s One Million Tree Movement.
