We’ve got a new coastal arboretum at Pulau Ubin! The Coastal Arboretum @ Pulau Ubin houses about 500 trees from over 70 native coastal species and acts as a nursery for these plant species that will be re-introduced later to Pulau Ubin’s coasts as part of habitat enhancement efforts.
The coastal arboretum will also complement the existing mangrove arboretum at Ubin Living Lab, and serve as a resource for students and researchers studying Pulau Ubin’s rich and varied biodiversity.

The Garden, which was first completed in 1967, now features a new rock garden (“Karesansui”) with nine sculptural rocks and a granite crossing bridge. The Karesansui’s effect extends the serene and calm essence of the Japanese Garden, while the granite crossing bridge symbolically draws visitors into the realm of the Japanese Garden.
A water cascade with a traditional Japanese basin and a traditional Japanese lantern were also added.

ABC Waters at Jurong Lake, is now open to the public.
Jurong Lake has been transformed into a venue for recreation and community bonding, where a stage and viewing promenade provide a scenic location for community events. One of Jurong Lake’s unique sustainable features is the largest man-made floating wetland in Singapore. The floating wetlands not only play a part in maintaining the water quality in the reservoir but also create a natural habitat for the wildlife.

|
|
| |
| |
|
| |
| |
Visitors can take a walk along the boardwalk to enjoy the scenic views of the lake and admire the flora and fauna thriving on the floating wetlands. Water activities such as kayaking and dragon boating can also be enjoyed on the lake through programmes by Passion Wave @ Jurong Lake Gardens operated by People’s Association.

Residents of Villa Verde can look forward a new green space in 2022! Located at an unused space beneath the Kranji Expressway, the addition of the Villa Verde Park Extension will more than double the size of Villa Verde Park.
The park extension was designed after incorporating suggestions from the community raised during Friends of the Parks public consultations. Through this, NParks hope to co-create parks with meaningful facilities that cater to the community’s needs and lifestyle and provide them with more recreational opportunities. These efforts aim to further integrate nature into urban areas and enhance recreational and ecological connectivity as we transform into a City in Nature.

The new Tropical Montane Orchidetum at Singapore Botanic Gardens showcases the most diversity of orchids found in tropical montane forests, in a single location in Singapore. It comprises three display houses – The Sembcorp Cool House, Tan Hoon Siang Mist House, Yuen Peng McNeice Bromeliad Collection, as well as the surrounding outdoor display areas that showcase lowland forest and stream habitats, and a Secret Ravine that emulates habitats that can be found in deep, narrow valleys of tropical mountains. The Sembcorp Cool House in particular, features the largest collection of high elevation montane orchids in Asia.

Designed in a way that allows visitors to see the orchid species and varieties set amid naturalistic landscapes resembling the habitats where they are typically found, the Orchidetum also plays an important role in the ex-situ conservation of these increasingly endangered orchids, as researchers will now be able to study at close range, rare orchids that would otherwise only be found naturally at higher elevations in other countries.
Visitors will be able to enjoy a seamless experience akin to that of one ascending a tropical montane forest as they make their way through the Orchidetum. Each of the display houses within the Orchidetum has been expanded beyond their original size, increasing by almost threefold the combined display area.

The large-scale, dual-mode Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant (KMEDP) is the first of its kind in Singapore, with an innovative design situating treatment equipment completely underground and featuring a lush green rooftop for community recreation.
Depending on the weather, the plant can treat both sea water and fresh water drawn from the Marina Reservoir, strengthening the resilience of Singapore's water supply in the face of climate change.

Seamlessly integrated with the surrounding greenery, KMEDP features nearly 20,000 square metres of open green rooftop space for community activity and recreation. The plant’s treatment facilities are situated underground, viewable via a private viewing gallery. For its outstanding design features and exceptional Active, Beautiful, Clean (ABC) standards, KMEDP became the first industrial plant in Singapore to be awarded the ABC Waters Certification (Gold) by PUB in October 2019.
KMEDP is one of the first infrastructure projects in Singapore to employ 3D, 4D and 6D Building Integrated Management (BIM) systems. This comprehensive integrated model enhances collaboration among the developer, designer, consultant, suppliers and sub-contractors by allowing them to visualise their plans via 3D modelling.
KMEDP is also the first desalination plant in Singapore to feature the energy-efficient direct coupling of the ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) systems, where water filtered from the upstream UF process is fed directly to the downstream RO process, eliminating intermediate break tanks and pumping stages, resulting in significant cost and space saving, and makes the process up to 15% more energy-efficient.
