WHAT'S
ON THIS WEEK?! Nature activities and events happening this week 5-11 Apr 2004 7 Apr (Wed): Official unveiling of the Hopea sangal sculpture at the Singapore Zoo Time: 9am When the rare Chengal pasir (Hopea sangal) tree was felled on 20 November 2002, a volunteer group began working to ensure that the tree was not cut down in vain. By September 2003, the recovered logs were transformed into sculptures and an education programme conducted during the Sculpture Symposium. A subsequent appeal for sponsors saw the Wildlife Reserves of Singapore (WRS) step forward to transfer, exhibit, maintain the Hopea sangal sculpture. To join the unveiling, email Siva as below.
