Media Release MEDIA RELEASE New North Eastern Riverine Loop launched Most scenic loop in Singapore running along 80 per cent of waterways Singapore, embargoed till 25 February 2012, 10am – Enjoy breathtaking sea views, spot some water birds, otters or dragonflies. These are some interesting sights that residents in the Buangkok, Hougang, Punggol and Sengkang towns can now enjoy along the park connectors of the new North Eastern Riverine Loop. The 26km loop was launched by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean this morning, making it the fourth loop of park connectors in Singapore. With 80 per cent running along the waterways of Sungei Pinang, Sungei Punggol and Sungei Serangoon, the North Eastern Riverine Loop promises breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline of northeast Singapore. The loop links four parks: Sengkang Riverside Park, Punggol Park, Punggol Waterway Park and Punggol Point Park, offering residents new recreational and commuting possibilities. While enjoying their recreational activity, residents can also experience the rich biodiversity that thrive in the habitats along the park connectors. These include dragonflies, butterflies and water birds like the Grey Heron or the White-throated Kingfisher. A Round Island Route in Singapore This morning, DPM Teo also announced plans to develop a Round Island Route (RIR) in Singapore. The idea to build such a route was among more than 3,000 gathered from the City in a Garden public engagement exercise started by the National Parks Board (NParks) last year. “With a length of about 150 km, or more than three times the length of Singapore, the Round Island Route will connect more than 3.5 million residents along the route to become a recreational destination on a national scale. The Round Island Route will not only add a new 1 recreation option for our citizens, but also enhance the experience of our park users and tourists”, said DPM Teo. “In addition, the Round Island Route will allow us to embark on journeys to look at Singapore in new and wonderful ways, as it passes through popular recreation nodes and also the less seen and explored corners of our island.” In the next few months, NParks will be organising exhibitions around Singapore for the public to give their views on RIR. The public is also welcomed to give their ideas and suggestions online at www.nparks.gov.sg/ciag . NParks will then set up focus groups to evaluate the ideas and suggestions, which will form the basis on how the RIR can be realised.

  • 1 to Be Embargoed Till 25 February 2012, 10Am MEDIA FACTSHEET
    To be embargoed till 25 February 2012, 10am MEDIA FACTSHEET Park Connector Network Implemented by the National Parks Board (NParks), the Park Connector Network is an island-wide network of linear open spaces around major residential areas, linking up parks and nature sites in Singapore. It brings people closer to green spaces, enhancing recreational opportunities for all, and is an important part of our plans to transform Singapore into a ‘City in a Garden’. NParks has completed 200km of park connectors around the island, providing users with a network of green corridors and a wider choice of landscapes and distances for recreation. The North Eastern Riverine Loop is the fourth loop of park connectors developed by NParks after the Northern Explorer Loop (2010), Eastern Coastal Loop (2007) and Western Adventure Loop (2009). Over the next five years, the NParks plans to build another 100 km of park connectors. Three more loops of park connectors are in the pipeline. North Eastern Riverine Loop The 26km North Eastern Riverine Loop is situated in the Northeastern region of Singapore, which follows the natural coastline of Punggol Beach and the river banks of Sungei Punggol and Sungei Serangoon on the West and East side respectively. It encompasses Buangkok, Punggol, Hougang and Sengkang Towns. The loop consists of Punggol Park Connector (6.1km), Punggol Promenade (4.9km), Serangoon Park Connector (2.3km), Sungei Serangoon Park Connector (2.1km), Buangkok Park Connector (1.5km) and Punggol Waterway (8.4km – both ways). These park connectors serve to link four parks: Punggol Park, Punggol Waterway Park (along Punggol Waterway), Punggol Point Park (at Punggol Promenade) and Sengkang Riverside Park.

  • MEDIA RELEASE for Immediate Release
    MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release New National Masterplan to Encourage More to Garden - NParks takes over development of the Orchid Industry Singapore, 3 November 2017- The National Parks Board (NParks) today announced a new national gardening masterplan for Singapore which centres on promoting edible gardening. The masterplan will be implemented through both ongoing and new initiatives such as training, the expansion of the allotment gardening scheme, as well as outreach efforts like the Community Garden Festival. With a large number of community gardeners growing edibles, the Edible Horticulture Masterplan aims to increase knowledge and cultivate the community’s interest in gardening by opening up more avenues for the public to participate in Singapore’s greening efforts. During the opening of the Community Garden Festival at HortPark, NParks also unveiled HortHouse, which will serve as the new training hub for the Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology (CUGE). This new landscape fronting HortHouse featuring eleven families of flowers and foliage will also provide an outdoor showcase of horticultural varieties to complement learning, and appeal to home gardeners. The focus on edibles taps on the immense interest in edible gardening to nurture younger gardeners. After more than a decade since the establishment of the Community in Bloom programme, community gardeners have honed their skills in growing edibles. At present, 80% of the gardening groups in HDB estates grow edibles in their community gardens. This burgeoning interest in edibles is also evident in the increasing number of entries in the NParks Community Garden Edibles Competition each year. There were a record number of 400 participants in this year’s competition, an approximately 33% increase from the previous year, in addition to an overall improvement in the quality of entries as the competition enters its third year.

  • Current Status of Mangrove Forests in Singapore
    Proceedings of Nature Society, Singapore’s Conference on ‘Nature Conservation for a Sustainable Singapore’ – 16th October 2011. Pg. 99–120. THE CURRENT STATUS OF MANGROVE FORESTS IN SINGAPORE YANG Shufen1, Rachel L. F. LIM1, SHEUE Chiou-Rong2 & Jean W. H. YONG3,4* 1National Biodiversity Centre, National Parks Board, 1 Cluny Road, Singapore 259569. 2Department of Life Sciences, National Chung Hsing University, 250, Kuo Kuang Rd., Taichung 402, Taiwan. 3Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. 4Singapore University of Technology and Design, 20 Dover Drive, Singapore 138682. (*E-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Even in a small and urbanised country like Singapore, we are still able to find new plant records in our remaining 735 ha of mangrove forests. With only one notable extinction (Brownlowia argentata Kurz), a total of 35 ‘true’ mangrove species can still be found in Singapore. This is half of the world’s total ‘true’ mangrove species recognised by IUCN. The botanical results indicate that Singapore still harbours rich mangrove diversity. The IUCN 'Critically Endangered' mangrove, Bruguiera hainesii C. G. Rogers, was discovered in 2003 as a new record. Thought to be extinct, B. sexangula (Lour.) Poir. trees were re-discovered in 2002 and occur mainly in the back mangrove. In 1999, an uncertain taxon of Ceriops was discovered, and identified as the so-called C. decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou. We later confirmed that the uncertain Ceriops species should be C. zippeliana Blume. Through international collaborative research efforts, the elucidation of the taxonomic identity of Kandelia obovata Sheue, Liu & Yong (the main mangrove of China, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam) in 2003 was assisted by our local research efforts towards protecting our own Kandelia candel (L.) Druce.
