Attendees will be taking the kranji express public bus from Kranji MRT Station to Hay Dairies, then to Bollywood Veggies (for lunch), and ending off with a short walk at the Kranji Marshes.

The Kranji Marshes are a unique habitat along the Kranji Reservoir, home to very rich biodiversity. For this reason, a large part of the Marshes are closed to the public owing to preservation concerns. The hike will lead to a view tower overlooking this area, which offers a good view.

Where: Kranji
