Invasive Species Management Programme
2025-12-10 15:00 - 18:00 | Windsor Nature Park, 30 Venus Dr, Singapore 573858, Singapore
Open to the Public
Invasive species may look harmless, but they can cause real damage to our native habitats. One such plant is the Zanzibar Yam (Dioscorea sansibarensis) — a fast-growing vine that strangles native plants and disrupts forest ecosystems.
Be part of our Invasive Species Management Programme, where you’ll work alongside our volunteers to help monitor and remove this invasive species and safeguard Singapore’s biodiversity. Through this hands-on activity, you’ll:
– Learn how invasive species affect our forests
– Take part in meaningful action to protect native plants
– Play a role in conserving Singapore’s natural heritage
This activity is perfect for nature lovers, families, and anyone who wants to make a difference. Every vine you help remove is a step toward restoring balance in our forests. 🌱
