Hi PHam!

After one year of inactivity, we proudly announce that FnS is officially back on Telegram !!! 🀩

We will be updating future events and the latest updates on this channel here, so stay tuned πŸ“’

A tiny little sneak peek: A biweekly post about ✨repurposing resources in PH✨ is coming soon! Our first post: Repurposing in one of our IGs - guess which🫣
🀩7πŸ₯°1🀬1
Welcome to our first themed post! 🚩

In this post, we'd dive deep into the heart of FnS - the Gardening Interest Group, and how they repurpose stuff in PH🌱
 
Take-home Recyclable Pots 🌸
The Gardening IGLs had an idea - to let everyone have the chance to plant with their own hands. The sustainable way to do this? Plastic bottles. 

Some who didn't manage to get their hands on plastic bottles settled for creative alternatives - Milo boxes, yoghurt cups...you name it! πŸ’‘

Cardboard CompostingπŸ“¦   
Gardening IG makes their own compost from a very unlikely material - cardboard.

Indeed, its relatively quick decomposing makes cardboard a handy source of carbon for the soil. Plus, the pros go on...odor-free, easy to use and most importantly, accessible.
     
Terrarium StonesπŸͺ¨ 
Do you know that the stones in the previous FnS Terrarium Workshop were from PH's very own garden❓  

The Gardening IGLs still have stones to clear, so if you're interested, Gardening IG is definitely welcoming help!

Welcome to our second themed post! 🚩

In this post, we'll be taking a look at the fluffy members of SG wildlife - the Smooth-coated Otters! ... and what to do if you see them πŸ‘€

The group of 4 otters was spotted trotting along Science Park Road on 30th September 2023, right outside PGP 🦦🌊

🫢🏻If you happen to see otters anywhere, here are a few DOs and DONTs!

DO
βœ”οΈEnsure your pets are leashed to avoid scuffles
βœ”οΈObserve at a distance, especially if you spot otter pups

DO NOT
❌ Use flash photography as the otters may be startled
❌ Feed them food, which may lead to behavioural changes

If there are any otter sightings, feel free to report them to Otterwatch on Facebook! 🌱This allows experts and conservationists to track their movement easily

Otters are an important part of the Singaporean ecosystem, and is also an indirect indicator of water qualityπŸ’§Being listed as a Vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, let us protect these cute friends of ours together! 🦦
