Chairman of Keppel Danny Teoh said that the new trail will be important in preserving nature and biodiversity in Labrador Nature Reserve.
“Keppel will continue to support the efforts of Singapore and the international community to address the challenges posed by climate change, including through nature-based solutions,” he added.
EXTENSION OF PASIR PANJANG PARK
In a speech at the opening ceremony, Mr Lee announced that Pasir Panjang Park, which stretches from West Coast Park to Pasir Panjang, will be extended by two hectares.
The extension will be at the former industrial waterfront of the Pasir Panjang Power District, growing the park to eight hectares.
When fully completed, the expanded Pasir Panjang Park will link other green spaces via the continuous Park Connector Network to Labrador Nature Park, said Mr Lee
These include West Coast Park, Pandan Reservoir, Jurong Lake Gardens and Jurong Central Park.
“These are part of our continuous efforts to transform Singapore into a city in nature … to just unlock ourselves from the fast pace of city life, when we bring people closer to nature while bolstering the ecological resilience of our habitats,” said Mr Lee.
“I encourage all of you here … to join us in these efforts … whether by planting trees, participating in biodiversity surveys or contributing ideas, or contributing your efforts.”
