Bukit Timah Nature Reserve Walk

Meet: Hillview MRT Station (DT3) Passenger Service Centre
When: Thursday 8th May, 4:30 pm**

**This is a Rain or Shine event. Please take a good lunch or bring along some snacks if you feel hungry along the way. Our walks are usually between 8 - 12 km long. Just so you know, the weather may be hot but as the sun sets, the weather should be cooler.

Please be punctual. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

Join us as we explore the Bukit Timah Reserve! We will visit the Singapore Quarry, Hindhede Quarry, and Bukit Timah Hill. If time permits, we will also cover the Rifle Range Park.

The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (abbreviation: BTNR) is a 1.7-square-kilometre (0.66 sq mi) nature reserve near the geographic centre of Singapore, located on the slopes of Bukit Timah Hill, the country's highest natural peak standing at a height of approximately 165 metres (541 ft), and parts of the surrounding area, located actually in Bukit Panjang. The nature reserve is about 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) from the Downtown Core, Singapore's central business district (CBD).

Together with the neighbouring Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) in close proximity, it houses over 840 species of flowering plants and over 500 species of fauna.[1] Today, it is one of the largest patches of primary rainforest left in Singapore. The forest reserve was formally declared as an ASEAN Heritage Park on 18 October 2011.[2][3]

Event communication will be through the event chat. Please check the event chat on the day of the event so that you will be updated on any changes.

Please keep in mind that I may not respond to messages sent after the walk starts because I will be busy helping the attendees and leading the walk.

Please be sure to RSVP responsibly to help those who are on the waitlist get the chance to come for the walks.

You should confirm your RSVPs the day before the event to allow those on the waitlist time to schedule for the event.

If I notice many no-shows despite the RSVPs, I may remove you from the RSVP list so that others can join my walks.

Thank you for your kind understanding.
