2 Mar (Sat): FREE Chek Jawa boardwalk tour with the Naked Hermit Crabs
The Crabs are back in action after taking a 2-month break to re-charge! The break was good, but it makes us restless and we can't wait to check out Chek Jawa together with our visitors.
Come join us on 2nd March (Saturday)! We welcome small family and friend groups on a 2-hour nature walk along Chek Jawa Boardwalk.
Lots to see at Chek Jawa, especially when accompanied by an experienced guide. There are busy fiddler crabs, slithery snakes, cute mudskippers, placid monitor lizards, fascinating tree-climbing crabs, super spiders. And if we are lucky, who knows, we might spot the Oriental Pied Hornbills among the tall trees, woodpeckers, sharmas, mud crabs, herons feeding on the mudflats, or White-Bellied Sea Eagles soaring in the sky. One can never be sure what one can find, but we know it will be a fun outing.

Fishes and Jellyfishes at Chek Jawa in November
The Crabs are running the December walk at Chek Jawa next week, and I have not even posted the photos from November! Time to stop the procrastination!
So, here goes ..... We had about 35 visitors join us in November (10-Nov). They are mostly families and small groups of friends wanting to learn more about the mangroves in Chek Jawa.
We also had a group of 10 students from the School of Tourism Studies from Temasek Polytechnic join us. Their lecturer sent them to us with the request that we help to explain the biodiversity of plants and animals that still can be found in our natural places. We certainly hope we left some positive impression with them about natural places such as Chek Jawa. We wanted them to know that Singaporeans still care passionately about conservation issues despite the relentless development of our urban areas for economic growth.

Families and students enjoying an outing to Chek Jawa
Last Saturday (13th Oct), we had a wonderful trip out to Chek Jawa Boardwalk with several families and lots of students on a study trip. October is typically our quieter month for visitors, but this time Pei Yan brought her Girl Guides student leaders from Katong Convent together with their teachers. We had a really boisterous trip, a fun way to spend a Saturday morning exploring Chek Jawa.
Here's PY sharing about rubber tapping with her students. Rubber was a major cash crop in South East Asia for decades, although with the introduction of synthetic rubber, natural rubber has lost its pole position in the cultivation of cash crops. Nonetheless, this is an eye-opener for our younger Singaporeans to be able to touch and feel the latex sap with their fingers.
