Forest Giants Trail
This trail leads you through one of the few remaining pockets of undisturbed primary forest in Singapore. As its name suggests, this trail is a botanical display of awesome forest giants, some of which have been around for more than a hundred years.
The shorea can grow to a dizzying height of 45 metres while the Nyatoh, an important source of timber, can reach a towering 40 metres. Over 100 other native plants are found. Among them are rattan, gaharu, meranti and jelutong. The forest at night is teeming with the nocturnal activities of toads, frogs, crickets and other insects. You may even be able to catch a glimpse of bats, flying lemurs, night jars, owls, squirrels and tree shrews.
