Event Date/Time: 7 April 2024 (Sunday), 8 am to 10.15 am

Cost: $38 per person (adult/child age 4 & above)

Thomson Nature Park and its environs host a stellar cast of fabulous forest denizens. The star attraction here is the rare Raffles’ Banded Langur, a leaf-chomping primate that regularly makes acrobatic leaps between trees. Other resident mammals include cheeky Long-tailed Macaques, Wild Pigs, as well as cute Slender and Plantain Squirrels. Attractive forest birds such as the Greater Racquet-tailed Drongo with its dramatic tail feathers, Crimson Sunbird, Emerald Dove, Red-crowned Barbet, as well as various species of parakeets and woodpeckers grace this green patch. Reptiles are mostly well-hidden and it takes a keen eye to spot them. These include the Clouded Monitor, Green-crested Lizard, dracos (flying dragons) and elusive forest snakes. As a bonus, we will pass through the ruins of the former Hainan Village for a feel of rural life in the 1960s. Join us in an exciting morning walk to seek out these forest treasures!

* We will have no more than 16 persons per guide. Our walks are held in open and uncrowded areas with plenty of fresh air. The walk will be managed in accordance with the prevailing Covid-19 Safe Management Measures. Minimum 4 persons for the guided walk to proceed.

* This activity is organised by Professional Nature Guide Gloria Seow (https://lorisowl.wordpress.com/). Gloria has headed the Education Committee in Nature Society (Singapore) since 2008 as the former Chairperson and current Vice Chairperson. Learn more at https://funwithnature.blogspot.com/.

* The nature walk will be led by professional nature guides including Gloria herself. 

* This activity is open for adults and children 4 years old and above. We cannot promise any sightings, but we know that the wildlife featured live in this habitat.

* We will be walking about 3.8 km, sometimes on uneven ground, and a certain level of fitness is required.

* Wet Weather Plans

We will contact you by WhatsApp/phone one hour before the walk to let you know if the walk is cancelled or you can contact Gloria at HP: 9435-0373. As for fees paid, you can choose to do the same walk at a later date or replace it with another wildlife walk of equivalent value (we will be organising more walks throughout 2024).

2. If it is drizzling with no lightning, we will still proceed with our rain gear. Typically, the rain stops after an hour or less. We tend to see a lot more wildlife after a downpour.
