At National Parks Board (NParks), they are dedicated and committed to providing and enhancing the greenery of Singapore. Beginning with the first Tree Planting Campaign in 1963, NParks has come a long way in greening up their island city, with 4 nature reserves and more than 350 parks sprawled across Singapore to date and still growing. Adding to this is the extensive streetscape, or roadside greenery, that forms the backbone of their City in a Garden. An island-wide Park Connector Network is also being developed to link major parks, nature areas and residential estates.
Beyond building and rejuvenating green infrastructure, NParks is actively engaging the community to make green spaces an integral part of their lifestyle with initiatives such as the Community in Bloom project and volunteering opportunities at their parks and nature reserves.
NParks has also set up the Community in Nature (CIN) programme to reach out and engage the community with nature by providing a wide range of nature-related opportunities. Beyond encouraging understanding, appreciation, and protection of nature and biodiversity, they also hope to cultivate more champions within the community in protecting their natural environment in the long run.
