At Bukit Brown for week ending 25 March 2012<\/p>\n

Saturday 24th Introduction to Bukit Brown Tour by Post Museum, 4pm – 5,30pm, free but must register here<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday 25th Tour 9am – 11 am by Raymond Goh. Possibly the last organised public tour before the onset of Qing Ming so as to allow families – some for the last time – more space to pay their respects to their ancestors. Tour covers\u00a0\u00a0 Blocks 5 and 2 <\/a>where there are many tombs which are affected by the proposed 8 lane highway. Please check in here<\/a> for more details and to give organisers an idea of numbers so we can mobilise more\u00a0 volunteers if necessary.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0 uncertainty\u00a0 as to what access there will be to Bukit Brown\u00a0 once plans are announced on the start of work on the building of\u00a0 highway,\u00a0 various volunteer groups are revving up to answer\u00a0 requests for tours which have been received from the public and private organisations. There is only we fear a small window of opportunity to appreciate Bukit Brown in its full glory before the highway slices it into half.<\/p>\n

Tours are available on special requests depending on availability of volunteer guides from various groups. Weekday tours are subject to an honorarium. Volunteer guides hold full time jobs and need to take leave to conduct these tours. Here are the contact details:<\/p>\n

Post-Museum conducts gentle\u00a0 introductory tours to Bukit Brown’s\u00a0 culture, history and habitat which lasts about an hour. They can also customise art activities at Bukit Brown. Please email\u00a0admin@post-museum.org<\/span><\/p>\n

a.t.bukitbrown co-ordinates requests for Raymond and has volunteer guides who can provide a more in depth introduction to culture and history. Tours can be customised to cater for specific interests on request. Tours are between two and three hour in duration. Please email a.t.bukitbrown@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n

Nature Society Singapore has nature ramble<\/a>s with delightful flora and fauna highlights as well as bird watching tours. The tours are between two and three hours in duration. Please contact hangchong@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n

A series of Family Day events are in the works for the March school holiday weekends 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th are in the pipeline. Watch this space!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
