Sensory Trail Pond

From Fish Farm to Habitat Haven - Discover the diverse flora and fauna of Sensory Trail Pond.

NParks had worked with Ngee Ann Polytechnic students to complete habitat enhancement works at the Sensory Trail ponds. Formerly used for fish farming, the four ponds have been combined into a single waterbody to provide habitats for biodiversity. The students helped to design and implement the planting plan for fauna such as waterhens, crakes, herons, kingfishers, dragonflies and damselflies. 

The students’ planting plan involved several aspects of attracting biodiversity. Snags salvaged from fallen trees were used as perches for birds to rest and hunt. Plants that provide shelter and suitable habitats were selected, such as Grey Sedge (Lepironia articulata (opens in new tab)), Singapore rhododendron (Melastoma malabathricum (opens in new tab)) and Rough Horsetail (Equisetum hyemale (opens in new tab)). Some aquatic birds also use the plants to hide from other predatory animals.

Explore the rest of the Sensory Trail by visiting the Sensory Trail Garden to experience the backyard planting of the Pulau Ubin village home.
