This series of boardwalks through the Central Catchment Nature Reserve brings you through certainly one of Singapore’s last remaining mature secondary forests and across the edge of Lower Peirce Reservoir. You can find rubber trees and oil palms within the Reserve while the plot of land adjacent to it absolutely was formerly a rubber plantation. This area is not just noted for its former rubber plantations but the prevailing Old Upper Thomson Road was previously Singapore’s first race track for racing cars. This can be a not at all hard walk, ideal for families with young children and the elderly. Start your walk near house no. 72 along Old Upper Thomson Road at the Casuarina Entrance. Shaded by the forest, the walk is pleasantly cool. There are plenty of informative signboards across the boardwalk that let you know more concerning the flora and fauna with this forest. The forest is home to significantly more than 900 flowering plants, 100 ferns and 250 animal species. You’ll encounter a wide selection of wildlife from mammals to aquatic creatures and enjoy wonderful panaromas of waters surrounded with a luxuriant forest. On occasion, around noon, you may see White-bellied Fish Eagles soaring in the sky and over the waters of the reservoir.
