1. Bukit Timah Biking Trail Maintenance
Regular mountain bike trail maintenance is carried out by National Parks
Board. To supplement this, a bunch of mountain bike enthusiasts are reviving
a trail maintenance session this Saturday morning, 6th March 2004. Join them
for a fun-filled session and get to know a bunch of community-spirited
cyclists.
If you can help out, please email Ling at legal@... with your 1)
Name, 2) Email, 3) Contact number. See:

2. Pasir Ris Park mangrove boardwalk closed
Pasir Ris Park mangrove boardwalk is closed for improvement works from
February 2004 to mid 2005. For queries, you can contact Pauline Tan (NParks
Pasir Ris) at HP: 9129-0690.
3. Habitatnews blog working
I am happy to say that the updating the blog has indeed been very easy. The last
few entries were uploaded via wireless from the NUS Science Canteen. If you
bookmarked the page, please note that the actual URL is:
http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/index.php
The disadvantage is that you have to check the page, as news will less
frequently be pushed to you. I am figuring that out how best to do it.
4. Greetings from Sandy in South America
A couple of you wrote after the last issue, thanks very much for that. And a very pleasant surprise arrived in the form of an email from a former zoology
student and friend, Sandy Yeo. She is now backpacking with her husband in
South America. They have ‘another 10 more months to go and many more
countries to cover’ .
She has already picked up an accent and said, “¡THANK YOU! = ¡¡¡MUCHAS
GRACIAS!!!”
