Sungei Buloh Anniversary Walk – 7th December 2003
annual walk at the park every Dec since 1997. During this walk visitors are
introduced to the common plants and animals of the mangroves in the mangrove
boardwalk, bridge and main hide and come ecological concepts and effects.
The route is peppered with a series of stations where very freshly trained
station guides will regale you with stories!
It is a light-hearted walk, well suited for first-timers and children. Your
friendly Group Guides will lead you to Station Guides who will introduce you
to tree-climbing crabs, mudskippers, birds, old pioneer trees, leaves that
exude salt, lovely painted ceiling tiles, needle fish and archer fish,
migratory birds, a view of Johor and the story of rivers, amongst others!
You will also get to enjoy the ambience of the boardwalk surrounded by the
lapping waves of the high tide and persistent calls of the kingfishers.
And of course, meet a very cheerful bunch of people who just learnt about
mangroves and want to share it with you!
