It was a hot June morning as a group of more than 50 people enthusiastically dug holes and potted saplings along the North Eastern Riverine Loop. Fifty-one trees were planted that morning at Punggol Promenade, signifying the start of the public involvement in the planting of 1,963 trees to commemorate 50 years of greening Singapore. This special tree planting exercise is part of the Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree (PAT) programme.

It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning this April when more than 50 of us gathered at East Coast Park Road Safety Park for the PC&Frens Networking Ride along the Eastern Coastal Loop, which is part of the Park Connector Network (PCN). We cycled through the scenic 20 km route, covering three of the eight parks in this loop. Along the way, we enjoyed the scenic views along East Coast beach, beautiful Bedok Town Park as well as the peaceful and tranquil Bedok Reservoir.
