Activities

This year, we bring you RAPTOR HUNT (treasure hunt) and GREENaid , a concert by musicians passionate about our natural heritage and our conservation efforts. Nature guided walks and talks are planned out for both days, The Great Green Clean Up, an initiative by Green Living asking you to help clean up designated locations and exciting games for both adults and children including repelling.

And at Raptor Watch 2012 always be mindful and look up ahead beyond the skies and lookout for these wonderful creatures. Come equipped with binoculars and bring your mats/tikar for GREENaid. See you there!

GREENaid Concert 

Throughout RW 2011, raptors ruled the skies while music filled the air. RW2012 is going to be more exciting.

This year we bring you GREENaid, a concert supported by local bands fighting for the same cause.

Educational talks and workshops

As RW is an event designed to cultivate more awareness on the conservation of birds and their habitat, we hope to add emphasis to this via our educational talks and workshops.
