The month of June is an exciting time for TeamSeaGrass as we
look forward to be part of two major events that celebrates some of our most
favourite things in the world: Pulau Ubin and biodiversity conservation. That’s
right folks. TeamSeaGrass will be taking part in Ubin
Day on 13 June and Festival
of Biodiversity on 27 and 28 June. More information about these two events, including volunteering
opportunities can be found below.
Ubin Day is a time where we all celebrate every bit of Ubin:
its culture, kampung life, nature and wildlife, Ubin land and sea. Through
these events, we hope to also raise awareness of Pulau Ubin and issues facing Pulau
Ubin.
Ubin Day will be happening this weekend (13 and 14 June
2015). TeamSeaGrass will be setting up a booth on 13 June. More information
about our booth can be found here.
We will be there from 7am to 6pm at the Assembly Area opposite
the HSBC Volunteer Hub and if you would like to join us to help out at our booth,
please email us at teamseagrass@gmail.com
and indicate the duration you would be helping out. We will get back to you
with more details.
Otherwise, come visit us and say hi or join in the many
activities offered by other groups
and get to explore different sides of Ubin.

The Festival is organised by NParks
in collaboration with the Biodiversity Roundtable, a group of about 20 key
representatives from various sectors of the biodiversity community which
TeamSeaGrass is part of.
This year,
learn more about local biodiversity through a display featuring 50 species of interesting
flora and fauna closely linked to Singapore, a marine exhibition that brings
the ocean to you, nature-themed craft workshops and booths showcasing the causes,
research and activities of environmental groups!
The Festival is also adding a new element that will add
variety and a new level of interactivity with the public: the Festival of
Biodiversity Concert at the Amphitheatre (Level 3). The free concert will be
played on both evenings. More information about the local musicians who will be
performing at the concert can be found here.
For those of you who would like to be involved in the
Festival, NParks is calling for volunteers to help them out in various
activities such as running the booths, exhibition and children's art and craft
workshops! Some of the TeamSeaGrass members have already signed up to help out.
If you would also like to volunteer your time to help out at the event, please

activities/roles in the form, and more details will be sent to you after you
sign up.
See you at the events!
