ACRES Outdoors - Sungei Buloh, 22 March 2026

ACRES Outdoors aims to help children learn how to behave in a safe way in a natural environment whilst forming a connection with nature. Join us to learn more about the plants and animals of the mangroves at Sungei Buloh.

Through enjoyable experiences outdoors in a beautiful nature area, guided by our outdoor education staff, we hope children will:

(a) learn how to behave safely and responsibly when outdoors in nature areas, and when encountering wild animals.

(b) appreciate nature's beauty and value, connect with nature, and become its protectors.

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a good place for children to see and learn about animals and plants of the mangroves, a type of habitat that was once common all over Singapore.
