Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve VISITOR CENTRE

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is the largest mangrove forest in Singapore and is home to almost half of the true mangrove plant species in the world. The Reserve became Singapore's first ASEAN Heritage Park in 2003 and is recognized as a site of international importance for migratory birds. The 31-hectare extension has rich mangrove and coastal forests, which are home to diverse species of fauna such as crabs and mudskippers and complement the habitats in the Neo Tiew area. The new visitor centre and extension trails provide new outdoor recreational and educational activities to the environment.

Highlights of the extension include new attractions like the Mud Experience, Mid-canopy Walk, and coastal boardwalk. Visitors can step onto the mudflats during low tide at the Mud Experience - a dedicated area to get up close with creatures living in the mud. The Mid-canopy Walk immerses visitors in the understory of a secondary forest through an elevated boardwalk where they can spot birds and insects that forage and reside in the mid-canopy region. The coastal boardwalk offers a scenic and unhindered view of the Kranji waterfront with a lookout point where raptors like the Ospreys and White-bellied Sea Eagle can be observed hunting for prey.

Sungai Buloh is home to a wide diversity of fauna and flora. Every year, thousands of migratory birds from the Northern Hemisphere, en route to warmer climates, visit this wetland to roost and feed. Besides these seasonal visitors, Sungai Buloh is also home to other shorebirds, waders, and wildlife. 53 species of native mangrove flora are also found in this habitat.
