Rainforest Field Trip

Students completing tasks in the rainforest.

The biologically diverse tropical rainforests are found only on a very narrow strip of land near the Equator. And we are very fortunate to have patches of these ancient forests in urban Singapore.

The tropical rainforest experience a tropical climate with year-round sunshine and rain. It has a myriad of interesting plants like trees with giant buttress roots, snake-like climbers and ferns with leaves looking like deer antlers. These plants grow in the different vertical layers of the forest; each has its own unique adaptations to survive in their own niche.

The rainforest is also home to many animals. In Singapore, commonly seen forest animals are the Long-tailed Macaques, Plantain Squirrels, Slender Squirrels, Tree Shrews, Greater Racquet-tailed Drongo, Malayan Colugo, Clouded Monitor Lizards and invertebrates of all shapes and sizes.

Do join us and be fascinated by Singapore’s very own tropical rainforest!
