Singapore

VISITORS to Coney Island Park can look forward to a richer forest habitat next year, following funding and volunteer commitments by Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) that will lead to the planting of over 50 species of native coastal plants there.

The bank is contributing S$250,000 and an estimated 1,400 OCBC staff volunteers will be working with National Parks Board (NParks) on choice of species to be planted, propagation, maintenance, coastal clean-ups, and conducting learning expeditions to rally strong support for conservation efforts in Coney Island Park.
