We headed down to Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve on Saturday morning, 12 September for our mangrove replanting activity. This activity follows up on the mangrove salvaging activity that we have done earlier in august. However, this time round, we were replanting these mangrove saplings that we had salvaged from earlier sessions.
Once again, joining us for the replanting were Scouts from Beatty's Beavers, SJI's Pelandok and Bishan Park's Lightning.
The task for this activity was pretty simple, firstly we dig a hole that is enough to cover the roots system of the plant. Secondly we plant the sapling into the ground and cover the soil. Next, we place a bamboo stick into the ground beside the sapling. And finally, we tie the sapling to the stick, to prevent the tides from washing away our newly-planted saplings.
The replanting also concludes the Mangrove Reforestation Programme, and we hope the participants had as much fun as we did. We would definitely like to thank NParks and Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve for making this happen!
