Join us this Sat 15th Nov 2025: 8.00am to plant trees opposite NUS Science!

Dear friends,

Together with NUS-UCI, NUS Toddycats have organised staff, students, alumni and the public to plants trees in campus, as part of NUS’ 100,000 trees commitment to the One Million Tree movement.

This year, we moved our efforts from the ridge to the slope opposite U Hall. Here we have been adding saplings in between the older trees which were planted ~2012 after Mr Lee Kuan Yew suggested to NUS that we green the campus more. As always, we plant the right combination of species suitable for this microclimate and the slope.

Before the NE monsoon arrives, we have one more opportunity this year when we hope to plant another 100 saplings comprising 10 species of plants.

Join us this Sat 15 Nov 2025: 8.00am – 10.00am by registering here: https://tinyurl.com/omt-15nov2025

All are welcome!

Cheerio!
