Queenstown Public Library’s 51st Anniversary Special Programmes

About the Programme

Join our speaker Dr Jennie Tang to understand how mature trees play an important part in Singapore’s natural heritage and how trees are beneficial to the environment and people. Jennie will also share highlights of some Heritage Trees found in and around Queenstown that you might spot when exploring the neighbourhood.
