The National Parks Board (NParks) and Keppel Corp on Saturday announced plans to restore the freshwater forest wetland ecosystem historically found within the vicinity of the Botanic Gardens.
Located in the upcoming Learning Forest extension, the restored 1.8ha forest wetland will not only enhance the biodiversity found there, but also provide educational opportunities for the public to observe a freshwater forest wetland habitat within the city limits.
Dubbed the Keppel Discovery Wetlands, the project is supported by Keppel Corp, which committed $2.08 million to the restoration efforts.
The wetlands is set to open in early 2017, and will feature various thematic freshwater forest wetland habitats that are connected by boardwalks and trails.
