Event Details

NUS is working towards a vision of a Campus in Tropical Rainforest, and NUS Toddycats are pleased to organise the NUS community in help restore the green spine of the Kent Ridge Campus!

When Kent Ridge lost its original forests more than a century ago, an Adinandra belukar forest grew over the former plantations and grassy hills of a former British military area. Long been deprived of a seed bank for natural succession to take place, we intend to enhance the forest quality through careful selection, planting and maintenance of appropriate species of trees.

Working with University Campus Infrastructure, we are pleased to invite to plant 100 saplings of a mix of 15 species of early to late successional native tree species suited to ridge habitat. And as these saplings grow, undergraduates will learn about biodiversity, 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 is our contribution towards Singapore’s One Million Tree Movement.
