Today we concluded our longest ever nature walk, trekking through the NTU campus from one end to the other. It is by far the most ambitious guided walk we had carried out.
From mango trees to durian trees, rambutan trees to chempedak trees - want to know where to go when you're feeling hungry?
Looking for a place to gather with friends and perhaps enjoy a picnic surrounded by birds and beautiful trees?
I hope everyone brought home something valuable with them today - memories to look back on and interesting nuggets of information that might come in handy some day.
Till next time!

Nature Appreciation Night, 24 Oct 2008
Short message from the guides:
The nature walk had been very enjoyable for all of us and so I hope everyone else had fun too! We are still working hard to find out more about our garden campus but I hope the walk had been both interesting and informative for all of you. There are actually more than 30 types of plants in Yunnan Garden itself and that day's walk covered only a fraction of them. The route that day had been designed such that it catered to the special seasons of the trees - eg flowering/fruiting. The next time you visit the garden again, it'll be another different sight.
So, we hope to see all of you again soon for our next walk! It'll be yet another experience - different trees, different Yunnan Garden.

Our Nature Guides and Yunnan Garden
In the year 2006, Earthlink NTU and NIE Green Club together initiated the activity--Nature Walk in Yunnan Garden. We aimed to bring together the nature lovers within the campus and explore the nature beauties around. We chose Yunnan Garden as our first guiding place, as this garden had over 30 species of flora and also an intriguing history since 1950s. Then we trained nature guides from our very own student volunteers. Thanks to the hard work of our nature guides, we had conduct 3 nature walks successfully during the first half of the year 2007. Especially, we appreciated the help from experienced nature guides, such as Ms. Yap Swee Cheng and Dr. Shawn Lum.
For the next stage, we would like to expand our guiding walks not only to the whole campus but also places outside NTU. We hope our efforts will recall the importance of the nature.
